Thank you. My name is Cogger, Sergeant Pete Cogger. I'll explain the line up to you. Each of the suspects you will see will be numbered. I'll call up a number of the name and chart.

If you have any questions or identifications, please remember the number assigned to the prisoners I call his name. If you're sure or not to sure of the suspect, have in hell. The questions I ask these suspects to really get a natural tone of voice.

So do not pay too much attention to their answers as they often lie. Alright, bring on the line. Okay boys, move it right over here at the end of the stage. Let's go, we have a lot of work to do.

I'll turn and face the screen. Hands at your side to look straight ahead, straight out through the screen. You're number three, Snancetill. Yes sir, I'm trying. Okay, now when I call out your number step up, keep facing front and talk up so everybody can hear you.
