Commonwealth v. Richmangreen2 sentences1976The court was clearly not convinced that the appellant had waived his right to counsel at lineup, but found the police conduct in this case to be a “technical violation” not requiring suppression because the lineup itself was “fundamently fair.” In Commonwealth v. Richman, 458 Pa. 167 , 320 A.2d 351 (1974), our supreme court defined the right to lineup counsel in this state, holding that “the policy behind the Wade rule applies with equal force to all confrontations conducted after arrest.” 458 Pa. at 171 , 320 A.2d *11 at 353. 1976The court was clearly not convinced that the appellant had waived his right to counsel at lineup, but found the police conduct in this case to be a “technical violation” not requiring suppression because the lineup itself was “fundamently fair.” In Commonwealth v.
