Dickerson v. Fogg

LASKER, District Judge.

David Dickerson was convicted in the New York State courts of robbery in the first degree on November 18,1977. He was sentenced to an indeterminate prison term with a minimum of five years and a maximum of fifteen years. He petitions for a writ of habeas corpus on the ground that his conviction was based on the unconstitutional admission of identification evidence secured through pretrial identification procedures which were so suggestive as to create a substantial likelihood of irreparable misidentification.
