Villarreal v. Texas · ¶32

Before us, Villarreal and Texas place that line along different axes. For Villarreal, the line is temporal. Villarreal concedes that, during a brief daytime recess, a defendant has no right to confer. But during an overnight recess, Villarreal insists, the conferral right is absolute and unqualifed; that is, an overnight recess is different in kind such that the Sixth Amendment admits no restriction.
