People v. White

This case presents question as to whether defendant's 6th Amendment right to counsel had attached by time police conducted in-person lineup where, by time of lineup, police had obtained approval for felony charges against defendant and had obtained arrest warrant, and where defendant had been arrested and jailed for eight days without being brought before judge pursuant to section 109-1 of Code of Criminal Procedure. Appellate Court, in finding that defendant's 6th Amendment rights had not attached by time of lineup, noted that defendant had not been arraigned until two days after instant lineup. Ct. further found that although delay in bringing defendant before judge was unusual, no attachment occurred by virtue of said delay.
