N.C.P.I.—Crim. 101.41
MULTIPLE DEFENDANTS-ONE DEFENDANT PLEADS GUILTY DURING TRIAL.
NOTE WELL: This instruction should be given where, in
a criminal trial involving multiple defendants, one
defendant pleads guilty leaving jury issues between
the State and another defendant.
Members of the jury, the matter of the State of North Carolina
versus (name defendant) is no longer for your consideration. You will not
be required to decide that case. You will not allow this development to
affect your deliberations in any way neither should it affect your decision
in the case between the State of North Carolina and (name defendant or
defendants).
