1977Washington was relied on by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in Braswell v. Wainwright, 463 F.2d 1148 (5th Cir. 1972), which held that a State procedural rule requiring the exclusion of a witness who has remained in the courtroom in violation of a sequestration order must yield to a defendant’s fundamental constitutional right to call witnesses in his behalf.

1977We have also considered Braswell v. Wainwright (5th Cir. 1972), 463 F.2d 1148 , where the court held that a State procedural rule requiring the exclusion of a witness who has remained in the courtroom in violation of a sequestration order must yield to a defendant’s fundamental constitutional right to call witnesses on his behalf.

1995(See Morrow v. Superior Court (1994), 30 Cal. App. 4th 1252, 1260-61 , 36 Cal. Rptr. 2d 210, 216 .) The J.H. court also held open the possibility that a case may be dismissed due to egregious misconduct.

1995(See Morrow v. Superior Court (1994), 30 Cal. App. 4th 1252, 1260-61 , 36 Cal. Rptr. 2d 210, 216 .) The J.H. court also held open the possibility that a case may be dismissed due to egregious misconduct.

1995Ed. 183, 188 , 72 S. Ct. 205, 207 .) Where multiple violations of a defendant’s Federal and State constitutional rights are occasioned by the police and prosecutors, and originate "within the hallowed confines of the courtroom where the rule of law and fairness should be revered,” the court’s conscience is shocked and dismissal of the case is an appropriate remedy.

1990App. 3d 39, 43 , 433 N.E.2d 1140, 1144 .) Whether to allow one who has been in the courtroom in violation of the court’s order to testify is within the sound discretion of the trial court, and the court’s ruling will not be disturbed unless the party offering the witness was deprived of material testimony without his fault.

1977Rather, we consider this case to be analogous to People v. Miller (1964), 30 Ill. 2d 110 , wherein a police officer who had remained in the courtroom in violation of an order excluding witnesses was permitted to testify.

1977This court held: “It was within the discretion of the trial judge to permit the testimony of the police officer in rebuttal even though witnesses had been excluded. [Citations.] The failure of defendant to object to such testimony clearly precludes him from alleging an abuse of discretion before this court. [Citation.] ” ( 30 Ill. 2d 110, 114 .) Similarly, in the instant case, the failure to insist upon a ruling on the objection waived the issue, where the court stated that it reserved its ruling, unsuccessfully requested a “submission of law” on the subject from counsel, and then, sitting as

1977App.3d 362 , 362 N.E.2d 701 , where we held that defendant was deprived of material testimony without his fault by the exclusion of a witness who had remained in the courtroom in violation of a sequestration order.

1977App. 3d 362 , 362 N.E.2d 701 , where we held that defendant was deprived of material testimony without his fault by the exclusion of a witness who had remained in the courtroom in violation of a sequestration order.

1970It is well settled, however, that the matter of permitting such a witness to testify rests within the sound discretion of the trial judge, (People v. Raby, 40 Ill.2d 392 ; People v. Scott, 38 Ill.2d 302 ,) and that a judgment will not be reversed for refusing to allow a witness to testify unless it is made to appear that the party offering such witness has been deprived of materal testimony without his fault.

1940Co. v. Commerce Commission, 364 Ill. 213, 223 .) It appears from the additional abstract filed by plaintiffs that after the complaints had been lodged herein and prior to any hearings thereon letters were sent by the trustee to all the beneficiaries of the trust, advising’ them of the filing of the complaints, the amount claimed by plaintiffs, and details with respect to the services, and these letters specified that the matter had been set for hearing, giving the date and hour of the hearing, the name of the judge and the number of the courtroom in which the hearing was to be had.
