The fact that the prosecutor works in the interests of the state can be seen as the underlying factor here. The prosecutor can get away with misconduct; because if it were proven that the prosecutor was actually responsible for misconduct it would greatly undermine the goal of the state, which is to seek justice.

Just because you are accused of or prosecuted for burglary does not mean that you must be convicted of burglary. Depending on what the judges charges are against Oliver he may get charged with the burglary on top of that he may be charged with possession of a firearm and silencers are illegal so that may be another charge he will be charged with.
One of the main factors that were taken into consideration was the nine month postponement between the preliminary observation and the challenged identification, which in the case of Neil v. Biggers (seven month delay) , would be a extremely negative factor in most cases (Neil v. Biggers , 1972). Although this is true, because of the extent of appalling evidence found against the culprits, the identification was admissible in court and that habeas relief was properly denied in this case.
