Pitts v. Mississippi · ¶10

At trial, the State moved for permission to place a screen between A. G. C. and Pitts when she took the witness stand. In support of its motion, the State pointed to a Mississippi statute providing that child witnesses “shall have the . . . righ[t]” to “a properly constructed screen that would permit the judge and jury in the courtroom . . . to see the child but would obscure the child's view of the defendant.” Miss. Code Ann. § 99–43–101(2)(g) (2020).
