"1. Should this court determine, in the exercise of its supervisory power over the administration of criminal justice, that a trial judge may not absent himself from the courtroom during the playback of testimony?
"2. If the answer to the first question is `yes,' should this conviction be reversed?"
The Supreme Court docket number is SC 16852.
