Syllabus

A trial court may avoid a violation of the public trial right by summarizing on the record what was discussed at the conference, the conference must have occurred in open court, and both parties to the action must have an opportunity to object to the accuracy of the court's summary or supplement the record as to the off-the-record events. The potential for harm exists whenever one person points a firearm at another individual.
