11th Cir. Pattern Jury Instr. (Criminal) B10.4
Caution: Punishment
(Multiple Defendants, Multiple Counts)
Each count of the indictment charges a separate crime against one or more of
the Defendants. You must consider each crime and the evidence relating to it
separately. And you must consider the case of each Defendant separately and
individually. If you find a Defendant guilty or not guilty of one crime, that must
not affect your verdict for [any other crime or] any other Defendant.
I caution you that each Defendant is on trial only for the specific crimes
charged in the indictment. You’re here to determine from the evidence in this case
whether each Defendant is guilty or not guilty of those specific crimes.
You must never consider punishment in any way to decide whether a
Defendant is guilty or not guilty. If you find a Defendant guilty, the punishment is
for the Judge alone to decide later.
