These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“l¡j7In other words, the issue of the voluntariness of a defendant’s decision to absent himself from court proceedings due to religious observance must be tied to the question of whether the First Amendment requires a trial judge to accede to the defendant’s desire to engage in the particular exercise of his religion. To frame the issue in terms of the Sixth Amendment’s “voluntariness” requirement: if a criminal defendant had a First Amendment right to be excused from attending trial on a particular day, a judge’s insistence on convening trial on that day would amount to the sort of “coercion” that would render involuntary the defendant’s otherwise intentional decision to absent himself.”
