In general, defendants are required to be present during all felony proceedings, including arraignment, plea hearings, and trial. However, there may be exceptions when a defendant can be excused from some proceedings, such as when they waive their right to be present or when their presence would disrupt the proceedings. Ultimately, it depends on the specific circumstances and the discretion of the judge.
