Abstract:
Grine’s assertion that an alternate approach is necessary opens with reasons why eyewitness identification is more likely to be erroneous when race is a factor, whether the identification is occurring during a suspect lineup or in a courtroom jury box. The effectiveness of her solution, jury instruction on cross-racial identification, is bolstered by court cases where racial misidentification yielded a miscarriage of justice.

Abstract:
This landmark court case, decided by the United States Supreme Court in 2017, brought to this nation’s legal profession’s attention how it should handle information related to jurors such as racial identity. Grine notes in particular how lawyers handle this issue during the voir dire step of the jury selection process can help prevent racial bias in juries and uphold the Sixth Amendment. How racial bias in juries for North Carolina cases is provided by the author in citing the manual Raising Issues of Race in North Carolina Criminal Cases.
