United States Eleventh Circuit

Plaintiff's due process and Sixth Amendment rights were violated when he was forced to wear a restraining device referred to as a "stun belt" during his trial, as district court did not make findings on the record sufficient to justify the use of this extraordinary security measure; conviction vacated and case remanded because the government did not show that error was harmless.
