People v. Hernandez
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of murder and contended that the trial court violated his right to counsel as guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment by barring his attorney from discussing with him the existence or contents of a sealed transcript of a witness's part of those proceedings. The court held that defendant could obtain relief on that claim only by establishing that the trial court's order affected the reliability of the trial process, a question not addressed by the Court of Appeal. Accordingly, the court reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
