(Court opinion corrected 12/3/15.) Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of armed robbery with a handgun. Multiple suspects in same lineup does not render lineup impermissibly suggestive. Witness, who positively identified Defendant in lineup 8 days after robbery had ample opportunity to view Defendant, and paid much attention to details. Thus, witness' identification testimony was reliable. Court erred in imposing $150 public defender fee without holding sufficient hearing to determine Defendant's financial circumstances and ability to pay.(NEVILLE and SIMON, concurring.)
