Lorelle Henry, a retired librarian, testifies that James King was one of the men who was robbing Aguinaldo Nesbitt. James King's attorney, Asa Briggs, cross-examines Lorelle Henry by asking her how many photographs of possible suspects she was shown by the police. Henry says that she does not recall and admits that there were moments when she felt unsure about her decisions. Briggs then asks Henry whether or not she remembers who asked Nesbitt where the money was located. Henry again admits that she does not remember. Briggs then asks Henry if she was able to identify James King out of a lineup. Henry responds by telling Briggs that she was able to identify him out of a six-person lineup.
Asa Briggs attempted to discredit Lorelle Henry's testimony by getting her to admit that she was unsure when she identified James King as the person involved in the robbery. Briggs made it seem like the police gave Henry a few photographs and encouraged her to identify James King by placing him next to five suspects. He essentially tries to convey to the jury that Lorelle was forced into picking James King from a limited lineup.
