Heading: Photo Array

Text: ¶ 9 Detective Dalling then prepared a photo array that included a mug shot of Hollen that was a few years old and five additional photographs. Dalling later testified that he selected photos where the age range, the shape of the chin, the shape of the head, the basic features of each one were similar, because he didn't want Mr. Hollen to stand out from anyone else. ¶ 10 Dalling showed the array to Channing Jones on September 28, 1995, and Contreras on October 2, 1995. Before showing them the array, Dalling explained that (1) the disguised robber may or may not be in the array, (2) they need not identify anyone, (3) they could either spread the photos out or view them individually, and (4) facial features remain the same, but the amount of facial hair and hair styles may change. ¶ 11 Jones and Contreras selected Hollen's photograph from the array. Detective Dalling estimated that Jones took one to one-and-a-half minutes to make the identification, and Contreras two-and-a-half to three minutes. After Jones's identification of Hollen, Dalling informed him that Hollen was in custody for another matter. [1]
