quote:One premise of the jury system (for centuries) is that the jury gets to assess the demeanor of a defendant as evidence is being presented.
I’m still trying to get my mind around how a judge can force a defendant with adequate counsel into the court room.
If the defendant can skip trial, the jury is deprived of that opportunity.
SHOULD that be the rule? You are certainly free to argue that point, but it IS the rule.

That’s interesting because a couple of trials wherein I testified as an expert witness (great PT gov with awesome billable rates) the defendant was on Skype (or some other video call service) and not present every day even remotely.
That was in the US Southern District and I haven’t done it for a couple years.
