Herdegen, 226 N.W.2d 648, 653 (N.D.1975). While he did not specifically raise it as an issue, Klem has asserted that he: “was excluded from the very bench conference at which the prosecution alleges he waived his objection to exclusion of the public.

We have said that a defendant in a criminal trial also has a constitutional right to be present at every stage of the proceedings against him. State v. Iverson, 187 N.W.2d 1 (N.D.1971) (<HOLDING>). But cf. United States v. Williams, 455 F.2d
