Syllabus

(Osowik) Trial court's decision, to preclude parent-witnesses from testifying at trial of son accused of rape, was affirmed where son was recorded during jail-house telephone calls advising his mother of the evidence presented thus far, in contravention of the separation-of-witnesses order, and also encouraged her to blurt out testimony, knowing it would violate the rape-shield statute.
