      (b) The testimony is taken during the criminal proceeding;

      (c) The court finds by substantial evidence, in a hearing conducted outside the presence of the jury, that requiring the child witness to testify in the presence of the defendant will cause the child to suffer serious emotional or mental distress that will prevent the child from reasonably communicating at the trial.  If the defendant is excluded from the presence of the child, the jury must also be excluded;

      (d) As provided in ((subsection (1)))(a) and (b) of this subsection, the court may allow a child witness to testify in the presence of the defendant but outside the presence of the jury, via closed-circuit television, if the court finds, upon motion and hearing outside the presence of the jury, that the child will suffer serious emotional distress that will prevent the child from reasonably communicating at the trial in front of the jury, or, that although the child may be able to reasonably communicate at trial in front of the jury, the child will suffer serious emotional or mental distress from testifying in front of the jury.  If the child is able to communicate in front of the defendant but not the jury the defendant will remain in the room with the child while the jury is excluded from the room;

      (e) The court finds that the prosecutor has made all reasonable efforts to prepare the child witness for testifying, including informing the child or the child's parent or guardian about community counseling services, giving court tours, and explaining the trial process.  If the prosecutor fails to demonstrate that preparations were implemented or the prosecutor in good faith attempted to implement them, the court shall deny the motion;

      (f) The court balances the strength of the state's case without the testimony of the child witness against the defendant's constitutional rights and the degree of infringement of the closed-circuit television procedure on those rights;

      (g) The court finds that no less restrictive method of obtaining the testimony exists that can adequately protect the child witness from the serious emotional or mental distress;

      (h) When the court allows the child witness to testify outside the presence of the defendant, the defendant can communicate constantly with the defense attorney by electronic transmission and be granted reasonable court recesses during the child's testimony for person-to-person consultation with the defense attorney;

      (i) The court can communicate with the attorneys by an audio system so that the court can rule on objections and otherwise control the proceedings;

      (l) The court imposes reasonable guidelines upon the parties for conducting the filming to avoid trauma to the child witness or abuse of the procedure for tactical advantage.

      The prosecutor, defense attorney, and a neutral and trained victim's advocate, if any, shall always be in the room where the child witness is testifying.  The court in the court's discretion depending on the circumstances and whether the jury or defendant or both are excluded from the room where the child is testifying, may remain or may not remain in the room with the child.

      (2) During the hearing conducted under subsection (1) of this section to determine whether the child witness may testify outside the presence of the defendant and/or the jury, the court may conduct the observation and examination of the child outside the presence of the defendant if:

      (b) The defendant can observe and hear the child witness by closed-circuit television;

      (c) The defendant can communicate constantly with the defense attorney during the examination of the child witness by electronic transmission and be granted reasonable court recesses during the child's examination for person-to-person consultation with the defense attorney; and

      (d) The court finds the closed-circuit television is capable of making an accurate reproduction and the operator of the equipment is competent to operate the equipment.  Whenever possible, all the parties in the room with the child witness shall be on camera so that the viewers can see all the parties.  If viewing all participants is not possible, then the court shall describe for the viewers the location of the prosecutor, defense attorney, and other participants in relation to the child.

      (3) The court shall make particularized findings on the record articulating the factors upon which the court based its decision to allow the child witness to testify via closed-circuit television pursuant to this section.  The factors the court may consider include, but are not limited to, a consideration of the child's age, physical health, emotional stability, expressions by the child of fear of testifying in open court or in front of the defendant, the relationship of the defendant to the child, and the court's observations of the child's inability to reasonably communicate in front of the defendant or in open court.  The court's findings shall identify the impact the factors have upon the child's ability to testify in front of the jury or the defendant or both and the specific nature of the emotional or mental trauma the child would suffer.  The court shall determine whether the source of the trauma is the presence of the defendant, the jury, or both, and shall limit the use of the closed-circuit television accordingly.

      (4) This section does not apply if the defendant is an attorney pro se unless the defendant has a court-appointed attorney assisting the defendant in the defense.

      (5) This section may not preclude the presence of both the child witness and the defendant in the courtroom together for purposes of establishing or challenging the identification of the defendant when identification is a legitimate issue in the proceeding.

      (7) All recorded tapes of testimony produced by closed-circuit television equipment shall be subject to any protective order of the court for the purpose of protecting the privacy of the child witness.

      (9) The state shall bear the costs of the closed-circuit television procedure.

      (10) A child witness may or may not be a victim in the proceeding.

POINT OF INQUIRY

 

Senator Kohl-Welles:  “Will the sponsor of the amendment, Senator Padden yield to a question? Senator Padden, what is the intent and the effect of the proposed striking amendment to the committee substitute to this bill?”

 

Senator Padden:  “Thank you Senator Kohl-Welles. The changes in the striking amendment are intended simply to clarify language and make technical corrections to the committee substitute.

Both internal and external references and definitions are harmonized in the amendment to eliminate possible confusion.

Language is added that clarifies that the crimes of trafficking and commercial sexual abuse of a minor are aggravating factors for termination of parental rights. The amendment also removes language that may have unintentionally limited the sex offenses that can currently be used as aggravating circumstances sufficient to order the termination of parental rights.

And finally, the section regarding patronizing a prostitute is removed. The committee substitute included unneeded references which may have unintentionally limited the charging discretion of a prosecuting attorney.”

 

The President declared the question before the Senate to be the adoption of the striking amendment by Senators Padden and Kohl-Welles to Substitute Senate Bill No. 5669.

The motion by Senator Padden carried and the striking amendment was adopted by voice vote.
