Please see the official site for addional information. www.ca7.uscourts.gov/pattern-jury-instructions/pattern-jury.htm 4.07 Separate Consideration — Multiple Defendants Charged With Same or Multiple Crime(s) is a legal principle that allows multiple defendants who are charged with the same or multiple crimes to be tried separately or considered separately in a court of law. This principle is based on the idea that the group of defendants can be divided into smaller groups, each with their own set of facts and evidence, allowing for fairer consideration of each defendant's individual case. The different types of 4.07 Separate Consideration — Multiple Defendants Charged With Same or Multiple Crime(s) include: joint trials, severance of defendants, and joiner of offenses. Joint trials involve all defendants being tried together, while severance of defendants and joiner of offenses involves separating the defendants and/or combining their offenses in one trial. This principle is important to ensure that defendants are not unfairly prejudiced by being tried together with a group of individuals.
