New York Court of Appeals October 20, 2011, 166 (People v. Santiago)

OPINION OF THE COURT

Pigott, J.

In this case, turning on the accuracy of eyewitnesses’ recognition of an assailant’s partially concealed face, we consider whether two additional eyewitness identifications sufficiently corroborated the victim’s identification of the defendant, so as to render expert testimony on eyewitness recognition memory unnecessary.
