State v. Ruiz

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of the defendant's motion to suppress an eyewitness identification made during a one-on-one showup. Without deciding whether the showup was unnecessarily suggestive, the court held that the identification was reliable under the totality of the circumstances, based on the witness's opportunity to observe the defendant, attentiveness, accurate initial description, certainty, and the short time between the incident and identification.
