Description
Appellants, Defendants Fields and Wilson, were convicted in a joint trial by jury of robbery and kidnapping and were sentenced to concurrent terms of imprisonment for not less than ten nor more than twenty-five years. Their appeal challenges the pre-indictment lineup identification as being impermissibly suggestive and the identification at trial as tainted by the suggestiveness of the lineup. We find that the lineup was not impermissibly suggestive under the cases that guide our determination. Neil v. Biggers, (1972) 409 U.S. 188, 93 S.Ct 375, 34 L.Ed.2d 401, Dillard v. State, (1971) 257 Ind. 282, 274 N.E.2d 387, Stovall v. Denno, (1967) 388 U.S. 293, 87 S.Ct. 1967, 18 L.Ed.2d 1199. Consequently, we do not meet the issue of taint. On July 24, 1972, William Stout was a service station attendant at the Parker Service Station in East Gary, Indiana. At about 10:30 p.m. on that date, two automobiles were driven into the service station. He serviced one, and it left. The driver of the second automobile instructed him to fill the car's gasoline tank, which he did. When he sought to collect for the gasoline, the driver was standing outside the automobile. A lone passenger in the vehicle exhibited a sawed off shotgun and told Stout to get into the car. Stout was stunned by this command and hesitated and stared at the driver for about thirty seconds. The driver then ordered him to get into the car, and he obeyed.
