          A lineup (like a police lineup) is exactly that. One is the suspect and the rest are there to ensure that you can accurately identify the actual suspect to be used later in court.

              You’re right to point out that the alleged perpetrator might not in fact be related to the case. You’re wrong to call at least this one person random, police doesn’t always appoints the perpetrator at random

                  No, the point is that one of them is actually the suspect lmfao. And guess what, if it’s not, they tell you ahead of time. You’re just wrong on every level here, and are just making yourself look foolish now.

                  The suspect, along with several “fillers” or “foils”—people of similar height, build, and complexion who may be prisoners, actors, police officers, or volunteers—stand side-by-side, both facing and in profile. There is crucial information that should be conveyed to the eyewitness prior to viewing the lineup. It is necessary to inform the eyewitness that it is possible the perpetrator is not present in the lineup.[1]

                  You just aren’t all there are you?

                  you fucking morons.

                  😂

                  You realize we’re talking about a hypothetical scenario where one person in the lineup is a worm farmer, right? I guess you don’t want to acknowledge that because it would mean admitting that you’ve been terribly wrong this whole time. I can’t wait for your next reply where you write 10 paragraphs about how worms aren’t real therefore the whole premise is wrong and you’re right.

          They did, it’s implied, heavily.

          Asking “which one” means one is.

          It’s not ambiguous, you just missed important detials.

              It’s okay to admit you were wrong.

              You assumed wrong, when they provided all the information you needed.

              It could be what you’re saying, but you would need to intentionally ignore the context of “which one”.

              It’s funny you speak of bias, when you’re the one being biased and assuming based of everything being “randomly selected”. I read what the person said and parsed it, you didn’t.

              It’s like having a police lineup where one person is a crook, it’s not some survey lmfao.
