The People of the State of New York v. Darrell Owens
June 1, 198974 N.Y.2d 677

The Court affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that the in‑court eyewitness identifications based on an independent source were not subject to appellate review and that the pretrial lineup identification was unduly suggestive but constituted harmless error in view of overwhelming evidence of guilt.
