• holding closure was trivial where a sheriff’s officer had closed the courtroom to the public
• finding that excluding the defendant’s family for two to three hours of voir dire was trivial and did not warrant reversal
• concluding no abuse of discretion in denying a postponement of sentencing where “Appellant has failed to identify what information he was unable to present due to the court’s denial of his request”
• indicating the significance of the length of the closure is viewed in light of the significance of the proceedings that occurred during that closure by stating “(1) the limited duration of the closure, two to three hours during voir dire”
• noting, in the context of a waived appellate challenge for counsel's failure to object to a CSI voir dire question, \the record as a whole does not lead to the conclusion that the jurors were under the impression that convicting appellant was the only option.\
