How later courts describe this case
- holding that an in-court identification amounts to a “show-up” but is not per se inadmissible or an automatic violation of due process but depends on the totality of the circumstances
- finding an in-court identification equivalent to a show-up but noting that the procedure was inadvertent and there was not “the slightest suggestion that the prosecution was in any way attempting to bring the confrontation about in the fashion that it occurred”
