Is this all there is to this case? many factors may be involved here, they you have not included. like, how long after the crime was the photo shown? how far away from the crime scene was a suspect stopped and then the photo shown? The general rules of lineup procedure, include at least five photos of people in similar clothing, gender, weight and race. I feel there was more to this photo showing, than has been given here.

the suspects photo may be shown to the victim as long as there are several other photos of persons who resemble the suspect. This is called a photo-pack which is compiled by the investigating officer to show the victim in attenpt to have them identify the suspect.
