How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that waiver occurred when “Addai’s trial counsel . . . consented to the closure” as part of trial strategy
• explaining that, in a case where the defendant expressly consents to a courtroom closure, the court is not required to balance the interests described in Waller
• “A defendant may certainly consent to the closure of the courtroom if he believes it to be in his favor, and if he chooses to do so, he can hardly claim on appeal that the closure violated his Sixth Amendment right.”
