Alaska Criminal Pattern Jury Instruction 1.35D
Arriving at a Verdict - Multiple Defendants, Multiple Counts
Each count charges each defendant named in that count with a separate offense. For each defendant and each count, you must decide separately whether the state has presented evidence proving that particular defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of that particular count. Your verdict as to one defendant on one count should not control your verdict as to that defendant on any other count. Nor should it control your verdict as to any other defendant on that count or any other count.
As you consider each count against each defendant, if you find that the state has proved each element of that offense beyond a reasonable doubt, then you must find that defendant guilty on that count. If, however, you find that the state has not proved each element of that offense beyond a reasonable doubt, then you must find that defendant not guilty on that count.
To return a verdict of guilty or not guilty as to a defendant on a count, each of you must agree with that verdict.
