Bad news if you're the one who's "the best of the six"

A case of mistaken argumentation?

Shomberg, a heroin addict with a long trail of mostly property crimes, was identified as a suspect based on his resemblance to a police sketch, although his eyes are brown and he was 38 at the time of the assault. And several of his friends said he was with them, 30 blocks away, at the time. But the victim and another witness picked Shomberg from among a lineup of six persons, presented all at once.

....And, in Shomberg's case, the victim agreed at trial with statements that she picked Shomberg because he was "the best of the six," even though "he very well could have not been the guy."
