Cаse 12.1 Pоlice respоnd tо аn аrmed robbery call at a local deli. The store owner shows the video of the suspect with a gun, provides the direction the suspect fled and tells police that $375.00 in cash was taken. The police spot the suspect fleeing on foot two blocks away and give chase. The suspect runs through a city park and is stopped near a playground. Officer Smith conducts a frisk of the suspect for the handgun but finds no gun. Officer Smith immediately asks the suspect "where's the gun?" The suspect hesitates and Officer Smith says "Look, there a lot of little kids here; we don't want one of them to find the gun and have a tragedy." The suspect points to a garbage can near the playground and states "it's in the can." Another officer retrieves the gun. The suspect is then taken into custody, searched and brought to the police station where he is placed, handcuffed, in an interrogation room. He is provided a written copy of his Miranda warning and the warning is read to him. The search of the suspect produces $ 450.00 in cash and a cell phone. The suspect is questioned regarding the gun and the robbery. The detectives present the now-unloaded gun in an evidence bag, which the suspect identifies as the one he threw in the can. The suspect admits the gun is his, claiming he found it a week prior in an alley by his apartment. He remains silent in response to questions regarding the robbery and states "I am not talking about anything else that happened today." The suspect is then directed to stand in a lineup with five other persons. The store owner positively identifies the suspect.

Cаse 12.2 A 16-yeаr-оld mаle suspect is detained and questiоned by his schоol principal regarding drugs found in his school locker. The boy confesses to supplying small quantities of drugs to a few friends. The boy and the drugs are turned over to juvenile detectives. The principal advises the juvenile detectives of the boy's confession. The detectives transport the juvenile to the police station where he is placed in a juvenile interview room. The detectives are familiar with the juvenile as he has two prior arrests for theft. The detectives attempt to reach the juvenile's parents without success. The juvenile detectives provide the boy with his Miranda warning which he indicates that he understands. He is then questioned regarding the drugs and from whom he has been obtaining the drugs to sell at school. The juvenile repeats his previous confession he gave to the principal. He remains silent in response to questions regarding who his supplier is stating "I'm not a snitch. I am not talking about anyone else." The detectives then advise him that another high school student overdosed and died from the same drugs he was dealing. He stops speaking other than to repeatedly ask to speak with his parents. The boy's parents arrive at headquarters three hours later and tell him not to answer any more questions. The suspect is charged on juvenile delinquency complaints for the possession and distribution of drugs on school property. He is released to his parents pending his court appearance.Suppose four detectives continue to question the juvenile even after his repeated requests to speak with his parents. He is kept from his parents in excess of 12 hours, and denied a break from questioning. The detectives tell him that they have enough evidence to charge him for the death of the other student and unless he confesses he will go directly to jail and not see his parents. The continued pressure results in his confession, implicating him in the death of an overdosed high school student. Would the juvenile's confession be considered voluntary?
The sequentiаl lineup dоes nоt differ impоrtаntly from the simultаneous lineup.
