Description
In this appeal, appellants John Sadler and Ronald Sever are challenging their convictions of robbery in the district court of the Third Judicial District. The principal issue in their appeal involves the legality of a witness identification of appellants as perpetrators of the robbery. The witness made the identification at the police station shortly after appellants were apprehended, and in the absence of counsel for appellants. Appellants contest the admissibility of evidence of this police station identification as a violation of their 6th amendment rights to counsel and in contravention of due process guarantees of the 14th amendment. Appellants also challenge the admissibility of an in-court identification of appellants made by the same witness, claiming that that identification was tainted by the illegal police station confrontation. In addition, appellant Sadler contends that the prosecution withheld information which would have aided Sadler in the preparation of his defense. Prior to consideration of appellants' arguments, it is necessary to present an abridgment of the facts leading up to appellants' prosecution and the challenged identification.
