But can this be True of his Bald spot As Well that essentially is the question faced recently by a retired judge Benjamin Altman when he sat As a judicial hearing officer in Brooklyn criminal court. We Flash Back to october when Joan Margarella and her 13-year-old daughter Tara were shopping in the Borough Park Section of Brooklyn. Margarella parked her car on 44th Street Between 12th and 13th avenues Only to realize after she had walked away that the flashers were still on. She returned to her car and was reaching in to turn off the lights when a Brown Chevrolet drove by and hit the open door injuring Tara a who was standing nearby. The Driver did not Stop. But Margarella managed to Jot Down the License number and catch a glimpse of the Driver from behind. What she saw she later said was a Small Man hunched Over the Drivers seat with a Large circular Bald spot within his thatch of Brownish red hair. She called the police. For detective Saverio de Felice of the 66th detective squad in Brooklyn tracking Down the cards owner was easy. He was Yefin Krel a russian emigre who is Short and Bald. The next step was to see if Margarella could pick him out of a lineup. Y in his 18 years on the Force de Felice had assembled Many a lineup but never one in which someone would be identified solely by the Back of his head. After receiving assurances from police lawyers that the procedure was valid the detective began rounding up ringers. He had limited Luck on the streets of Brooklyn where the population that particular Day was peculiarly hirsute. �?�1  find too Many Bald Guys out there believe it or not a he said. He eventually found one civilian who received $10 for his troubles. The other four were Chrome docs from around the precinct House. All sat Down with their backs to Margarella who As watching from an adjacent room. To even things out still further Krel who was a bit Shorter than the others sat on a Brooklyn Telephone Book. It took Margarella Only a few seconds to make1 her Choice. The offender she announced was the Man in chair no. 3. And that Man was Krel. Krel s lawyer. Barbara Fleck of Brooklyn Legal Aid promptly moved for a Wade hearing a that is a judicial determination of the fairness of the lineup procedure. Identifying someone solely by his baldness she charged was a not Only bizarre but positively  a when i was in Law school there was one very important Rule that one of the professors told me the a straight face Rule Quot she told Altman on june 18. A it says you can argue anything As Long As you can keep a straight face. I have a hard time understanding How the people can argue this lineup is valid and keep a straight  but Altman disagreed. Bizarre the lineup might have been. But the unorthodox need not be unreliable. That was for the jury to decide.
