   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-1028
   Eastern District of Arkansas   
   Criminal case - criminal law. Photo spreads used in securing 
   defendant's identification were not impermissibly suggestive and did not 
   create a substantial likelihood of irreparable misidentification; district 
   court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to permit expert testimony 
   on eyewitness identification as the testimony would not have 
   substantially aided the jury in understanding or determining a fact in 
   issue; even if detective's statements about defendant's invocation of his 
   Miranda rights violated defendant's rights under Doyle v. Ohio, 426 U.S. 
   610(1976), the error was harmless; district court did not abuse its 
   discretion in prohibiting defendant's counsel from arguing during closing 
   that another participant in the crime avoided a mandatory life sentence by 
   testifying against him.
