Berryman v. Haas

1. Whether the Sixth Amendment right to a public trial applies to the jury selection process, specifically the "for cause" and "peremptory" challenge phase of voir dire? 2. Whether the Sixth Amendment right to a public trial is violated when the trial court conducts the "for cause" and "peremptory" challenge phase of voir dire in a private room, off the record, and outside the presence of the public? 3. Whether trial counsel's failure to object to the closure of the courtroom during the "for cause" and "peremptory" challenge phase of voir dire constitutes ineffective assistance of counsel?
