Wilson v. State

Indiana Court of Appeals

Decided March 17, 1977No. 2-1075A273PublishedCited by 6 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtSullivan, J.

Wilson seeks to set aside his conviction for commission of robbery while armed.1 He argues (1) that in-court identification by the victim, Ball, should not have been allowed because an unduly suggestive pre-trial line-up made the identification unreliable, and (2) that there was insufficient evidence to establish that he committed the robbery.

We affirm.

*477I.

THE LINE-UP WAS NOT UNDULY SUGGESTIVE

Wilson argues that the pre-trial line-up was unduly suggestive in that none of the four other line-up participants had black hair, or a moustache similar to his, and that he was the only one with a tattoo.2
