Brief arguing virtual suppression hearing will violate constitutional rights because video conferencing differs qualitatively from in-person proceedings

Brief explains that video conferencing limits factfinder’s ability to reach accurate conclusions by skewing and disrupting communication and perception of participants (p. 19), leading to worse outcomes for defendants (p. 24), and decreasing the solemnity of courtroom proceedings (p. 25). Those arguments are then used to argue that virtual hearings violate the right to confront witnesses (p. 27), the right to be present at critical stages (pg. 37), the right to a public trial and the right of the public to attend hearings (pg. 43), and the right to effective assistance of counsel by inhibiting communication between attorney and client (p. 52).
