They don't ever close a court session out of courtesy because the government may have a weak case and to spare the government embarrassment. It is a public forum. In order to close it they have to have a justification....like the defendant being a cooperating witness. Any closed courtroom draws scrutiny from the public and the suggestion of cooperation.
You are probably correct , I agree it does look odd, I left out I dont believe IT was a closed session. This was told to me by the court baliff , like I said in my opinion done as courtersy to both sides. If no one knew the plea was going down how could any one be there?
prosucters office just called me back saying it was OPEN A session.
