5th Cir. Pattern Jury Instr. (Criminal) 1.25
MULTIPLE DEFENDANTS—MULTIPLE COUNTS
A separate crime is charged against one or more of the defendants in each count of the
indictment. Each count, and the evidence pertaining to it, should be considered separately. The
case of each defendant should be considered separately and individually. The fact that you may
find one or more of the accused guilty or not guilty of any of the crimes charged should not control
your verdict as to any other crime or any other defendant. You must give separate consideration to
the evidence as to each defendant.
