OPINION OF THE COURT
Bellacosa, J.
In two distinct cases, defendants appeal, challenging the admission of allegedly suggestive station house showup *527identifications and resultant in-court identifications made at trial. The showup identification evidence in each case was suggestive as a matter of law and was erroneously admitted at the respective trials. Independent source evidence was not presented at the suppression hearings in either case as a matter of prosecutorial preference, so the affected in-court identifications were necessarily tainted and erroneously admitted as well.
