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.
