Criminal Procedure
Right to be present
Timothy Tackett appeals from a judgment of conviction of second-degree sexual assault of a child under sixteen and from an order denying his postconviction motion for a new trial. He argues that the trial court erred in communicating with the jury outside his and defense counsel’s presence. The trial court concluded that the error was harmless and we agree. We affirm the judgment and order. This opinion will not be published.
