Perry v. New Hampshire, 565 U.S. 228 (2012), is a United States Supreme Court case regarding the constitutionality of eyewitness identifications.

A witness, Nubia Blandon told the police that she observed Perry committing the crime from her apartment window.

Although she identified him at the scene of the crime, she was unable to pick him out from a line of photos nor describe him to the police.

Perry lost his case, and the New Hampshire Supreme Court upheld his conviction.

The U.S. Supreme Court[6] delivered its 8–1 decision on January 11, 2012, deciding that judicial examination of eyewitness testimony was required only in the case of police misconduct.Held: The Due Process Clause does not require a preliminary judicial inquiry into the reliability of an eyewitness identification when the identification was not procured under unnecessarily suggestive circumstances arranged by law enforcement.
