Kings County Criminal Bar Association examines changes to 90-year-old evidence law
The Kings County Criminal Bar Association (KCCBA) invited a member of the Innocence Project to its monthly meeting in Brooklyn Heights last Thursday to explain changes in the law that allow greater use of photo IDs at trial.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the change that was effective on July 1, 2017 that modified 90 years of case law to allow greater use of photo IDs and laid out a protocol that officers have to follow when showing photos to witnesses.
