Criminal Procedure — right to be present — harmless error

Dustan Warren appeals a judgment convicting him of five crimes and an order denying his postconviction motion. He contends he is entitled to a new trial because the bailiff’s answers to the jury foreperson’s questions denied him his right to be present at all stages of the trial with legal counsel. Because we conclude that the bailiff’s error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt, we affirm the judgment and order. This opinion will not be published.
