R V. ZWEZDARYK – [2004] O.J. NO. 6137 (SCJ – R. Clark)
Para 24: “I do not see any prejudice to any accused occasioned by all three being in the prisoner’s box. I am not convinced that there is any significant impediment to communication between counsel and the client engendered by the fact that the accused is in the box as opposed to seated at counsel table. This is not the case where there is any special reason for which the accused Mr. Voong or Mr. Marini must be seated at counsel table [citation omitted]”.
