State of Iowa v. Randy Lynn Barnes

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• recognizing suggestiveness but finding no due process violation where defendant’s location was only suggestive circumstance
• first time in-court identification is not so inherently suggestive that, standing alone, it triggers due process protections
• “But whether or not we would have decided the same as the Borum court if presented with identical facts, we conclude here that the evidence did not establish reasonable doubt as a matter of law, and the jury was left free to make a finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.”
