Separate Consideration--Evidence Admitted Against Certain Defendants Only is a legal term used in criminal proceedings. This refers to a situation in which certain evidence is admissible against certain defendants, but not against all the defendants involved in the same trial. For example, if a suspect has an alibi that only applies to one of the defendants, then that alibi can be used to prove that the defendant is not guilty, but it cannot be used against the other defendants. In some cases, evidence that is legally admissible against one defendant may be excluded from being presented against another defendant, or it may be admitted but only in a limited form. There are two types of Separate Consideration--Evidence Admitted Against Certain Defendants Only: exclusionary evidence and limited evidence. Exclusionary evidence is evidence that is legally inadmissible against certain defendants, while limited evidence is evidence that is legally admissible but only in a limited form. In both cases, the evidence may still be used to prove the guilt of the remaining defendants.
