Oklahoma Separate Defendants is a procedure that allows criminal defendants to be tried separately in the same criminal case. This procedure is allowed in Oklahoma by the Oklahoma Criminal Procedure Code (CPC). It allows the court to divide the case into two separate trials, one for each defendant. There are two types of Oklahoma Separate Defendants: joint defendants and severable defendants. Joint defendants are tried together in one trial, while severable defendants are tried separately. This procedure allows the court to ensure that each defendant has a fair trial and is not prejudiced by the other defendant's actions or evidence. This procedure also allows for greater judicial efficiency and can save time and money for the state.
