- I heard part of a story on NPR this morning about a judge ruling
- that sidebars in court were a violation of an accused's right to
- be present at ALL proceedings of his trial and that the judge
- said something about the ruling being retroactive. This would
- mean that previous cases where lawyers had sidebars with the
- judge (just about all of them) could be retried.
-
- Anybody have more info. on all this stuff?
