10th Cir. Crim. Pattern Jury Instr. 1.19
CAUTION—CONSIDER ONLY CRIME CHARGED
You are here to decide whether the government has proved
beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty of the crime
charged. The defendant is not on trial for any act, conduct, or
crime not charged in the indictment.
It is not up to you to decide whether anyone who is not on trial
in this case should be prosecuted for the crime charged. The fact
that another person also may be guilty is no defense to a criminal
charge.
