Even if the trial court erred by violating the terms of the statute when it excluded Davis's family from the courtroom for the duration of the victim's testimony, Davis has waived this issue by failing to object. Sandifer v. State, 318 Ga.App. 630, 631(1), 734 S.E.2d 464 (2012). Moreover, even assuming that Davis had preserved this objection, the trial court's decision to remove Davis's family from the courtroom does not constitute reversible error because Davis has not shown how this error harmed him.
See id. In Sandifer v. State , 318 Ga. App. 630, 632 (1), 734 S.E.2d 464 (2012), we determined that the defendant was not harmed by the trial court’s decision to remove the defendant’s sister from the courtroom while allowing the victims’ families to remain. In that case, however, the issue before the Court was not the trial court’s failure to perform a Waller analysis in furtherance of the defendant’s Sixth Amendment public-trial guarantee.
