Connall is on trial in the Crown Court for robbery. It is alleged that as Deena was leaving a football match, Connall threatened her and snatched her handbag. Deena was too shaken to be able to give a description of her attacker but Spencer observed the incident and at an identification procedure subsequently identified Connall as the person responsible. In interview, Connall denied knowing Spencer. Spencer gives evidence at trial that he observed the robbery in good lighting from an unobstructed position approximately 10 metres away. He states that he had often spoken to Connall at the football ground in the three months leading up to the incident. Should a Turnbull direction be given to the jury in respect of the identification evidence?
