“The Court: All right. Members of the jury, we’re going to take our lunch break now — well, let me confer with the lawyers a minute. Sheriff, take the jury back in the jury room. (The jury is absent.) The Witness: Can I be excused, Judge? The Court: Wait just a moment. (A discussion off the record in chambers with the Court and all four counsel.

1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. State v. Meyer“However, error caused by the absence of the defendant at some portion of his capital trial does not require automatic reversal. This Court has adopted the “harmless error” analysis in cases where a defendant is absent during a portion of his capital trial. The State has the burden of establishing that the error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.”
