Description
[70 N.Y.2d 32 Page 35] Opinion OF THE COURT This appeal in a highly publicized murder case centers on the tension between the constitutional right of an accused to a fair trial and the constitutional right of the public and the press to attend the proceedings. While defendant insists that an open courtroom during a Huntley hearing will imperil his right to secure an impartial jury, we conclude -- as did the Appellate Division -- that closure was improper here because of the absence of the requisite factual and legal predicates.
