19-3023 CHILD SUMMONED AS WITNESS.
CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
CHAPTER 30
WITNESSES IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS
19-3023. Child summoned as witness. When a child is summoned as a witness in any hearing in any criminal matter, including any preliminary hearing, notwithstanding any other statutory provision, parents, a counselor, friend or other person having a supportive relationship with the child shall be allowed to remain in the courtroom at the witness stand with the child during the child’s testimony unless in written findings made and entered, the court finds that the defendant’s constitutional right to a fair trial will be unduly prejudiced.
