. Not at mall, Bundy says _ Continued from B-1 > _ It is difficult to gét a person to change his or her tind once he has made a commitment (a choice of. photo, for example) the doctor said. « - Under cross examination by Deputy Salt Lake County Atty. David E. Yocom, Dr. Loftus admitted ‘ there are no studies of situations in which actual victims of crimes were the subjects. -. Nor have there been studies of persons who picked the right picture, she said. “Tf the choice were correct and a subject were committed to that choice, there would be no reason to change, would there?’”’ Yocom asked. “That’s right,” said Dr. Loftus. Edward M. Barton, a veteran police officer, now retired and working as an investigator for the Legal Defenders Association of Salt Lake City, said he thought it would have been better if Miss DaRonch had not been shown more than one photo of the suspect. 5 The victim was shown a photo of Bundy taken in August 1975, and later showed a photo taken for his driver’s license shortly after the alleged incident. Barton said he would not himself have shown her both photos, even though they. were substantially different... . . The former police officer also said he had . participated in-as many as 200 line-ups and that -vietims frequently pick the wrong person. He said that in his opinion, line-ups are not the best form of evidence. . Yocom asked if, when victims do pick a man ina . line-up and it is the correct suspect, identification is made very quickly. Barton responded that this is usually the case. . Miss DaRonch picked Bundy from a police line-up almost immediately, it was - established during the prosecution’s presentation. Regarding Miss DaRonch’s testimony that the Volkswagen in which she was taken from the ‘shopping center had a tear in the rear seat, a ” mechanic testified that many such vehicles have torn seats. The sun causes the seats to tear, according to.Bill Gord, an employe of Jack’s Top Shop. __ Former neighbors-of Bundy, James Dunn and his wife, Janet Davis, told Hanson they had never seen. Bundy wearing dark patent leather shoes, nor had , they seen handcuffs or a crowbar in Bundy’s car. Miss DaRonch earlier had testified’ that her ‘abductor wore dark, shiny shoes and that he threatened her with a crowbar. Her assailant also _ attempted to put handcuffs on her, and succeeded in getting one of the handcuffs secured before she broke _free from him, she testified. A former girlfriend of Bundy, Ann Swénson, said she had been in his ear and apartment on many - occasions and did not see any patent leather shoes. Nor did she recall a rip in the seat of the car. Policemen found a pair of dark, shiny shoes in Bundy's apartment after it was searched in late 1975. Hanson. who is hearing the case alone after Bundy waived right to a jury trial, took under advisement a defense motion to have the charge reduced to simple kidngping_,
