Description
Defendant was convicted by a jury on all three counts of a three count indictment. Counts I and II charged defendant with the First Degree Robbery of Joseph Williams and Karen Cook, respectively. Count III charged defendant with Armed Criminal Action in the commission of the aforementioned robberies. Following his conviction, defendant was sentenced (pursuant to the Second Offender Act) to ten years imprisonment on each of the first two counts, and thirty years imprisonment for the third. These sentences were scheduled to run concurrently. Defendant raises two points of error on appeal: 1) that the trial court erred in admitting into evidence portions of a videotape which made reference to crimes committed by defendant other than those for which he stood charged; and 2) that the trial court further erred in refusing his Motion to Suppress the in-court identification of defendant because the pre-trial photographic identification procedure was so unnecessarily suggestive as to give rise to a substantial likelihood of irreparable misidentification. Although defendant does not challenge the sufficiency of the evidence, a rather detailed recitation of the facts is necessary due to the nature of his contentions.
