Author Description

This Is A Pre Exam Study Book - not a theory outline. Use if for direct Exam prep only.. Pre-trial procedure does get tested a lot. Examples: Show-ups and line-ups. Are they violative of D's due process by being unduly suggestive, necessitating the exclusion of identifications? Is D entitled to a lawyer during a show-up or line-up? Or while his blood is analyzed for drugs? Bottom line: Unless adversarial judicial proceedings can be argued to have started against the defendant, the state is not obligated to get him a lawyer or allow him access to one. So, police station procedures do not ordinarily require that D have a lawyer - unless a case has actually been filed against him.
