“The Confrontation Clause in Article I, Section 23 of the North Carolina Constitution guarantees an accused the right to be present in person at every stage of his trial. This right to be present extends to all times during the trial when anything is said or done which materially affects defendant as to the charge against him. .... The trial court errs when it communicates with a juror in the absence of the defendant. A defendant's actual presence in the courtroom can be negated by the court's cloistered conversations with jurors or prospective jurors. Such actions may prevent the defendant from participating in the proceeding, either personally or through counsel; and they deprive the defendant of any real knowledge of what transpired.”
