Waiver of defendant’s presence
In all criminal proceedings, the defendant’s presence is required at the arraignment hearing, entry of plea, trial, and sentencing unless the court has waived the defendant’s presence for a particular hearing. Good cause must be shown for all waivers. Waivers are not favored in matters wherein the defendant is charged with an alcohol- or drug-related offense; in cases alleging domestic battery; in cases alleging resisting, evading, delaying, or battery upon a peace officer; or in cases wherein the defendant is accused of a felony or gross misdemeanor.
