COLJI-Crim. E:13
MULTIPLE DEFENDANTS
In this case, you must decide separately whether each of the [two]
[several] defendants is guilty or not guilty. If you cannot agree upon a
verdict as to [both] [all] the defendants, but do agree as to one [or more] of
them, you must render a verdict as to the one [or more] upon which you do
agree.
It is your duty to give separate personal consideration to the case of
each individual defendant. When you do so, you should analyze what the
evidence in the case shows with respect to that individual, leaving out
entirely any evidence admitted solely against some other defendant or
defendants. Each defendant is entitled to have his [her] case determined
from evidence as to his [her] own acts and culpable state of mind, and any
other evidence in this case which may be applicable to him [her]. You must
state your finding as to each defendant uninfluenced by your verdict as to
[the other] [any other] defendant.
