Rule 9.2. Defendant's Forfeiture of the Right to Be Present Due to Disruptive Conduct
(a) Generally. A defendant who engages in disruptive conduct, after being warned that such conduct will result in expulsion from a proceeding, forfeits the right to be present at that proceeding. At the time of expulsion, the court must inform the defendant that he or she can return upon a promise to the court of future orderly conduct.
(b) Continuing Duty to Permit Participation. After expulsion, the court must use every feasible means to allow the defendant to watch, hear, and be informed of the proceeding's progress, and to consult with counsel at reasonable intervals. The court should inquire periodically if the defendant wishes to reacquire the right to be present.
