Marcus Whitfield was facing felony charges built almost entirely on a single eyewitness identification made under highly suggestive conditions.
The Challenge
The prosecution treated the identification as settled fact, and our client had already spent two weeks in custody before his family reached us.
Our Approach
We moved immediately for release, then subpoenaed the full identification records. A frame-by-frame reconstruction showed the procedure violated every accepted safeguard, and our motion to suppress laid it out plainly.
The Outcome
The court suppressed the identification and the State dismissed all charges. Mr. Whitfield walked out of the courthouse with his record intact.
