SDCL § 15-5A-9: Where not permitted.

Use of interactive audiovisual device will not be permitted to conduct any felony plea hearings, any stage of trial, felony sentencing, or probation revocation hearing unless all parties to the proceeding stipulate to the use of the interactive audiovisual device for one of the aforementioned purposes. The judge presiding over the matter always retains the discretion not to allow an appearance by interactive audiovisual device if the judge believes that to do so would prejudice any party to the proceeding.
