Whether allowing the media to remain in the courtroom preserves a defendant's Sixth Amendment right to a public trial during a partial courtroom closure

QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW (1) Whether allowing the media to remain in the courtroom preserves a defendant’s Sixth Amendment right to a public trial during a partial courtroom closure where the defendant’s family members and the general public are barred from attending the proceedings. (2) Whether the “overriding interest” test established by this Court in Waller v. Georgia, 467 U.S. 39 (1984) or the “substantial reason” test, that has been adopted by a majority of jurisdictions, should be used to determine if a defendant’s Sixth Amendment right to a public trial has been violated by a partial courtroom closure. i
