The identity parade – through the eyes of the defence counsel

Csaba Fenyvesi Logo ORCID

Abstract

A few Hungarian cases of justice miscarriage demonstrate that the identity parade (line up) method in the criminal procedure could be a “dangerous act”, because the witnesses sometimes give false testimonies, make wrong choices, the authority sometimes fails the recognition process, and lastly the “result” could be a “justizmord”. Based on scientific research, the present study reveals the most frequent criminal procedural and criminalistic wrongdoings. It also focuses on preventing legal and criminal tactical possibilities and suggestions. It can be read mostly from the defence counsel’s point of view. The author declares the lawyers’ legal and factual tasks in this field, especially for preventing wrongful sentences. This is the duty of all legal representatives (detectives, prosecutors, judges) as well.
