Can a defendant who was verbally disruptive during trial be denied a restraining order because he never became physically threatening?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Harris, C051904 (Cal. App. 10/1/2007), C051904 (Cal. App. 2007):
We review with deference to the trial court's decision an order restraining a defendant. (People v. Ramirez (2006) 39 Cal.4th 398, 450.) Acknowledging he was "verbally disruptive" during trial, defendant contends the trial court should not have ordered him to be placed in leg restraints because he "never became physically threatening." We disagree.
