The following excerpt is from People v. DeLeon, 2d Crim. No. B238202 (Cal. App. 2014):
Citing People v. Harrington (1871) 42 Cal. 165, 168, and other cases, appellant claims that his placement in the glass room violated his rights to confront his accusers, to be personally present at trial, and impaired his ability to defend himself. Nothing indicates that he was unable to see exhibits, to hear or clearly see any of the witnesses who testified, or that they were unable to see or hear him. (Compare Coy v. Iowa (1988) 487 U.S. 1012, 1019-1020.) To the contrary, he questioned witnesses at length, presented and referred to exhibits in a manner reflecting his understanding of them, and presented his argument to the jury.
