United States Seventh Circuit

Where the judge, counsel, and court reporter retired to chambers while the jury, defendant, and the victim's mother, who was on the witness stand, remained in court, and the victim's mother shouted at the accused and began to cry, but did not provide any information not admitted at trial, the judge's error was harmless.
