“in no event shall he be tried before a jury while in chains or shackles.”
10 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Moore v. State · Davis v. State“... should use every precaution within his grasp to see that the defendant is not paraded before the jury or jury panel in chains or shackles. Before trial, if defendant's presence is necessary, the jury panel could be called into the court room and defendant unshackled outside the court room before entry. During trial, the jury could assemble in their deliberation room while defendant is brought in so they would not have the opportunity to see him while chained and shackled.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““A defendant shall have the unrestrained use of his limbs and shall not suffer any physical bond or burden that may lead the jury to draw a foregone conclusion that defendant must be a dangerous and violent person and thus a prejudice created in the mind of the jury against defendant that would deny him a fair and impartial trial.””
