Villarreal v. Texas · ¶56

I agree that the trial court did not violate petitioner's Sixth Amendment right to the assistance of counsel by restricting consultation with his attorney during an overnight midtestimonial recess. I write to set out the framework under which courts should analyze limitations on communications between a criminal defendant and his attorney during a break in the defendant's testimony.
