Abstract
The article examines the effectiveness of Hennepin County's blind sequential lineup pilot project in improving eyewitness identification accuracy. By implementing a protocol where photos are shown one at a time by an administrator unaware of the suspect, the study aims to reduce misidentifications and enhance the reliability of eyewitness testimony in criminal investigations.
