State v. Christopher Romero

5-21-07 (A-109-05)

The jury received ample instruction about the need to examine
carefully the identification made by the eyewitness, and Romero
was not denied a fair trial without a tailored cross-ethnic
identification charge. The Court uses this opportunity to
refine the out-of-court identification charge so that it will
alert jurors in all eyewitness identification cases that such
testimony requires close scrutiny.
