The Struggle Against Mourning

Pre-trial procedure does get tested a lot.Examples: Show-ups and line-ups.Are they violative of D's due process by being unduly suggestive, necessitating the exclusion of identifications?Is D entitled to a lawyer during a show-up or line-up? Or while his blood is analyzed for drugs?Bottom line: Unless adversarial judicial proceedings can be argued to have started against the defendant, the state is not obligated to get him a lawyer or allow him access to one.So, police station procedures do not ordinarily require that D have a lawyer - unless a case has actually been filed against him.
