New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Ronald Jackson, Appellant
October 17, 200298 N.Y.2d 555

The Court affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the pre‑trial lineup was not unduly suggestive and that the loss of the original lineup photograph did not bar appellate review because the record contained a photocopy and other evidence. The Court also cautioned trial courts to preserve key exhibits.
