CRIMINAL LAW AND PROCEDURE -IDENTIFICATION PARADE: Circumstances where an identification parade will not be necessary "The oral evidence of PW1 confirms the statement he made immediately after the robbery which was admitted as Exhibit `A' under cross-examination. He made Exhibit A on 16/9/2012 when the incident of the robbery was still very fresh in his memory. His description of the 2nd accused now appellant was:- "The 2nd man was dark in complexion, charcoal black. He also wore no mask.' In his oral evidence he said: - "The 2nd accused was standing at the door pointing his gun at me and I was wondering that this small boy could be an armed robber. A young boy, charcoal black." (underlining mine for emphasis). In his brief of argument in paragraph 4.4, learned counsel for the appellant maintained that no mention was made of PW1 recognizing or identifying the appellant in Exhibit "A". This is far from the truth. The only thing PW1 did not do was to call the appellant's name. Learned counsel for the respondent argued that the appellant was properly identified by PW1.
