If a victim identifies a photo before all photos are shown, what should be done?

When a victim identifies a photo before all photos are shown, the appropriate action is to continue showing the rest of the photos. This ensures that the identification process remains thorough and unbiased. The integrity of the identification procedure is crucial in order to avoid any suggestions or confirmation bias that might arise from prematurely stopping the show of photographs.

Continuing with the presentation of all photos can help confirm the victim's initial choice and allows them to reconsider if needed. Additionally, it maintains a standard practice that can be legally and procedurally required, reinforcing the reliability of the identification process in potential legal circumstances. This approach serves to affirm the victim's confidence and ensures that their identification is not swayed by merely showing a single photo without additional context or options.
