COLJI-Crim. E:12
MULTIPLE COUNTS (STANDARD CASE)
In this case a separate offense is charged against [one or more of]
[each of] the defendant[s] in each count of the [information] [indictment].
Each count charges a separate and distinct offense and the evidence and
the law applicable to each count should be considered separately,
uninfluenced by your decision as to any other count. The fact that you may
find [all or some of] the defendant[s] guilty or not guilty of one of the
offenses charged, should not control your verdict as to any other offense
charged against [any of] the [other] defendant(s).
The defendant[s] may be found guilty or not guilty of any one or all
of the offenses charged.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
