Defendants are not entitled to a reversal of their
convictions based on the trial court's announcement that members
of the victim's and defendants' families would not be allowed in
the courtroom during jury selection in light of the fact that
defendants did not object to such exclusion of family members
and the absence of any indication that family members were in
the courthouse and desired to attend jury selection.
