California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Shawn G. (In re Shawn G.), G047317 (Cal. App. 2013):
Evidence Code section 7773 provides in pertinent part that "the court may exclude from the courtroom any witness not at the time under examination so that such witness cannot hear the testimony of other witnesses." We review the juvenile court's ruling for an abuse of discretion. (People v. Wallace (2008) 44 Cal.4th 1032, 1053.)
