D.C. Super. Ct. Crim. R. 14
Relief from Prejudicial Joinder
(a) Relief. If the joinder of offenses or defendants in an indictment, an information, or a
consolidation for trial appears to prejudice a defendant or the government, the court
may order separate trials of counts, sever the defendants’ trials, or provide any other
relief that justice requires.
(b) Defendant’s Statements. Before ruling on a defendant’s motion to sever, the court
may order an attorney for the government to deliver to the court for in camera inspection
any defendant’s statement that the government intends to use as evidence.
