Supreme Court Allows Lineups Without Lawyer On Hand
The Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 that police may place arrested suspects in lineups without a lawyer present. The decision limits the right to counsel at lineups, while upholding a lawyer requirement once questioning begins. Justice Stewart led the majority with four Nixon appointees, in opposition to four dissents. The ruling affects states and federal appeals courts that had barred such lineups, and prompts broader implications for criminal procedure nationwide. The decision accompanies other actions on school funding and competency to stand trial.
