P. v. Hall
A jury convicted William Morris Hall of six counts of making false bomb threats. (Pen. Code,[1] 148.1, subd. (c).) Hall appeals, contending admission of recorded voice lineups which identified his voice as the bomb threat caller was improper. Hall argues the lineups were unduly suggestive and infringed upon his Sixth Amendment right to counsel because his counsel was not present when the lineups were conducted. Hall concedes his trial counsel did not object to the lineups on Sixth Amendment grounds, but argues his counsel's failure to raise the issue gives rise to a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. Court conclude the voice identifications were not unduly suggestive and did not violate his Sixth Amendment right to counsel. Court therefore affirm the judgment.
