Villarreal v. Texas · ¶22

This Court first encountered that question in Geders. An overnight recess divided Geders's direct testimony from his cross-examination. Before the recess, the judge ordered Geders not to discuss the case overnight with anyone. 425 U. S., at 82–83, and n. 1. Geders's attorney objected to this absolute conferral ban, explaining that he believed his client had a right to confer with him “about matters other than the imminent cross-examination.” Id., at 82.
