New York law allows a defendant to waive his right to attend. So, all Trump's pissing and moaning about 'not being allowed to campaign' is - like everything else he says - complete and utter bullshit.

Quote:2. On motion of a defendant represented by counsel, the court may, in the absence of an objection by the people, issue an order dispensing with the requirement that the defendant be personally present at trial. Such an order may be made only upon the filing of a written and subscribed statement by the defendant declaring that he waives his right to be personally present at the trial and authorizing his attorney to conduct his defense.
