Heading: Whether the photo lineup was overly suggestive.

Text: ¶ 17. Because he was the only individual in a six-person photographic lineup shown wearing a coat, Gunn claims that the lineup was impermissibly suggestive. But Gunn failed to raise this issue properly at trial, [14] and is procedurally barred from arguing it for the first time on appeal. [15] Notwithstanding the procedural bar, this issue lacks merit. ¶ 18. The mere fact that Gunn was the only person in the lineup wearing a coat does not make this effectually a lineup of one and not six pictures, as Gunn argues. The theft allegedly was committed by someone wearing a red shirt and khaki pants; there was no testimony the perpetrator was wearing a coat. Further, the pictures in the lineup were chosen by a police department computer program. This program operates by choosing people in the system, at random, with similar height, weight, and age as the suspect. These facts, taken together, indicate that the photo lineup was not impermissibly suggestive.
