Lien vers la décision

[21]        In considering the reliability of this evidence, a summary of relevant factors for courts to review was provided in R. v. Rai, 2016 ONCJ 629 at para. 31:

[31]     Some of the factors a court may consider in assessing the reliability of identification evidence include:  the witness’s opportunity to observe at the time of the alleged offence (duration of the observation, light conditions, whether there was a face covering, etc.); whether the witness has prior knowledge of the person being identified; the time lapse between the event and the identification; the presence of distinctive features and the amount of detail in the description provided by the witness; the presence or absence of corroborative evidence; the possibility of contamination by improper identification procedures. This is not an exhaustive list. In relation to issues with identification evidence, see generally: R. v. Hibbert, 2002 SCC 39, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 445 at paras. 50-53; R. v. Powell, 2007 CanLII 45918 at paras. 11-15 (ONSC); R. v. Jack, 2013 ONCA 80 at paras. 12-17; R. v. Miaponoose (1996110 C.C.C.
