6th Cir. Pattern Crim. Jury Instr. 2.01B
SEPARATE CONSIDERATION--MULTIPLE DEFENDANTS CHARGED WITH A SINGLE CRIME
(1) The defendants have all been charged with one crime. But in our system of justice, guilt or innocence is personal and individual. It is your duty to separately consider the evidence against each defendant, and to return a separate verdict for each one of them. For each defendant, you must decide whether the government has presented evidence proving that particular defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
(2) Your decision on one defendant, whether it is guilty or not guilty, should not influence your decision on any of the other defendants.
