طابور الشخصية في نظام العدالة الجنائية السوداني : دراسة مقارنة مع النظام الإنجليزي

Abstract EN

he has seen with his own eyes the suspect committing the crime is considered sufficient evidence to convict the suspect.

To ensure the credibility of the witness, the suspect is presented among a group of people who look similar to him; then the witness identifies the person that s/he saw committing the crime.

This is achieved through procedures that have different names in different places, e.

g.

Display Lineup or Live Police Lineup, or displaying a photograph or video of the suspect.

However, its value, as single evidence, is not valid for conviction in the Sudanese judicial system, as opposed to the English system where the process has contributed to convicting innocent people because courts have based the convictions on this evidence alone.

The Sudanese judiciary, in their publication number 40 for the year 1955, which regulates how the witness identifies the accused, did not update the process to keep up with the modern ways of identifying the accused through video, which has proved to be easier in application than the physical or direct police lineup.

This research came up with some solutions and recommendations to establish binding legal rules that keep up with the progress and be applied on the ground.

These include the technology of video display as an option for the police lineup as applicable in the English system, to achieve criminal justice, raise awareness among criminal justice staff, and avoid the deficiencies experienced in the police lineup's evidence.
