Alaska Criminal Pattern Jury Instruction 1.35C
Arriving at a Verdict - Multiple Defendants, Single Count
Each defendant is charged separately. For each defendant, you must decide separately whether the state has presented evidence proving that particular defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Your verdict as to one defendant should not control your verdict as to any other defendant.
As you consider each defendant, if you find that the state has proved each element of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt, then you must find that defendant guilty. If, however, you find that the state has not proved each element of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt, then you must find that defendant not guilty.
To return a verdict of guilty or not guilty as to a defendant, each of you must agree with that verdict.
