MO HB967

Requires criminal justice entities to use "blind" or "blinded" lineup administrators who do not know which person the eyewitness is viewing, unless documenting why this creates an undue burden

Mandates specific lineup composition rules: at least 5 fillers for photo lineups and 4 fillers for live lineups, all resembling the eyewitness's description of the perpetrator in significant features like face, weight, build, and skin tone

Requires law enforcement to record the eyewitness's complete description of the perpetrator before any lineup, including observation conditions such as lighting, distance, weather, and any impairments like alcohol or drugs

Entitles defendants to a pretrial evidentiary hearing on eyewitness identification reliability, with courts required to suppress evidence when there is a substantial probability of misidentification due to noncompliance

Directs the Department of Public Safety to create and conduct training programs for law enforcement on eyewitness identification methods and scientific findings regarding these procedures
