Del. P.J.I. Crim. No. 4.15
Multiple Defendants
MULTIPLE DEFENDANTS
In this case, there are [#] defendants on trial. In effect, [#] separate cases are
being tried together. A criminal offense may be committed by two or more persons
acting together. However, if you are satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that one
defendant is guilty, that does not mean any other defendant is guilty. The fact that
you reached a conclusion with regard to one defendant does not mean that
conclusion will apply to any other defendant. Keep in mind at all times that the
defendants are charged as individuals. You must weigh the evidence, apply the
law and render separate verdicts as to each defendant.
