Villarreal v. Texas · ¶69

David Villarreal testified in his own defense at his murder trial. Partway through Villarreal's testimony, trial recessed for the day. The trial judge gave Villarreal and his counsel an order limiting what they could discuss during the break in his testimony. The judge told them that they could confer with each other overnight, but not about Villarreal's ongoing testimony. Villarreal was convicted. He now challenges the trial judge's order as violating his Sixth Amendment right to counsel.
