Is the show-up so unnecessarily suggestive as to warrant


Problem

A robbery occurred at noon on Thursday. The eyewitness described the perpetrator as a tall, young, white male with dark hair, wearing a red shirt and blue jeans and carrying a gun. During a show-up at 1:00am on Saturday morning, the police bring the witness to the suspect, who is several miles from the crime scene. The suspect is sitting in the back of a police car. When the witness arrives, the suspect is taken out of the car. The police shine their vehicle spotlight on the suspect, and the witness can see that the suspect is in handcuffs. The suspect is a 20-year-old, 5'10" white male with brown hair. He is wearing a white T-shirt and blue sweatpants. There is a gun sitting on the hood of the police car. Is the show-up so unnecessarily suggestive as to warrant the application of the exclusionary rule? Why/why not. Fully explain your answer.
