Identification
who
Martin Wood
white, 5'6", dark hair, 30-35
strong irish accent, thought
it was Scottish - hearsay
colleague said irish
could ID her but hasn't
Good ID - clear,
unobstructed for 2.5
minutes from 3 ft
away at times
Paul Abraham
no proper sighting
at time
tenuous link -later
saw van - could
have been anyone
ID vague 'similar age & look' - fleeting
PC John Cribb
ID from stills
must know her sufficiently well
Late 20's
chubby 5'5"
Irish accent
address - 3 morton road
possibly unfair - would show her criminal
record - how else would he recognise her
More recently, however, the Court of
Appeal in R. v Caldwell and Dixon145
noted that any widespread application of
this power of exclusion would unfairly
advantage those with criminal records,
and suggested that the evidence should
be admitted unless the prejudicial effect
outweighed its probative value. In
carrying out this balancing exercise the
court stressed the added value of
recognition evidence over the jury
attempting themselves to compare
images on film with the appearance of
the accused in the dock.
