Questionable ID procedures in Petoskey rape case prompt hearing
A psychologist testified that eyewitness identifications of Gregory Petoskey were potentially tainted by police lineup circumstances. The hearing in Linn County District Court considered suppressing the identification testimony in the two kidnapping burglary cases tied to July 5 and October 4, 1978. Petoskey and defense counsel argued over the reliability of photos shown to victims and the timing of his arrest. Trials are set for October 12 and November 21, with judges to rule by October 1.
