Highlight

A violation of a defendant's Sixth Amendment right to a public trial may be too trivial to create structural error so long as the violation did not implicate ensuring a fair trial, reminding the prosecutor and judge of their responsibility to the accusing and the importance of their functions, encouraging witnesses to come forward, and discouraging perjury.
A jury's findings of fact will not be reweighed on appeal.
