Rule 19.1. Conduct of Trial
(1) During Determination of Guilt or Innocence. If a prior conviction or noncapital sentencing allegation must be found following a guilty verdict, the trial must proceed initially as though there were no prior conviction or sentencing allegations, unless the conviction or sentencing allegation is an element of the charged crime.
(2) Identifying and Locating Information. A victim has the right to refuse to testify regarding any identifying or locating information, unless the victim consents or the court orders disclosure after finding a compelling need for the information. The court must conduct a proceeding on a motion to require such testimony in camera.
(3) Representative of a Minor or Incapacitated Victim. If a representative of a minor victim or an incapacitated victim requests to be recognized during trial, the representative must notify the prosecutor, who must then inform the court of the request outside the presence of the jury. Any communications between the representative and the court during trial must be conducted in the presence of the parties or their counsel, and outside the jury's presence. Any substantive communications must be on the record.
