The following excerpt is from United States v. Al Farekh, No. 18-943-cr (2nd Cir. 2020):
43. See, e.g., id. at 810 ("Although repeatedly asking a witness who has selected a certain photo to look again at the array might be troubling in some circumstances, for example if there were a small number of photos and only one perpetrator, the procedure described here, given the large number of photos in the array and the large number of robbers, was not impermissible."); United States ex rel. Gibbs v. Vincent, 524 F.2d 634, 637-39 (2d Cir. 1975) (concluding that a procedure involving the display of several hundreds of photographs to witnesses of an armed robbery was appropriate).
44. See Thai, 29 F.3d at 809.
