Problem:
Janice Bolan, a rape victim, was examined at a hospital and a rape kit was collected. No sperm cells were identified in the first examination of the swabs. Bolan then gave police a description of her attacker, saying he was an African-American man between 25 and 30 years of age, approximately 6 feet tall, and had a beard. She then helped officers create a sketch of the perpetrator, which was circulated throughout the community. A week later, police received a call that a man fitting the description was working in a nearby grocery store. Police took Bolan by the store and asked if the man, Dean Cage, was her attacker. She answered yes. Police then conducted a lineup at the police station. Once again, Bolan identified Cage as her attacker. Cage was arrested and convicted in a bench trial, after she testified in court that she was "100 percent sure" Cage was the rapist-and pointed to him in court. Is there anything wrong with these events?
