Chapter IV · Arraignment And Preparation For Trial

Rule 14. Relief from prejudicial joinder

Amended 2025 (current)

If it appears that a defendant or the prosecuting agency is prejudiced by a joinder of offenses or of defendants in a charging document or by such joinder for trial together, the Court may order an election or separate trials of counts, grant a severance of defendants or provide whatever other relief justice requires. In ruling on a motion by a defendant for severance the Court may order the prosecuting agency to deliver to the Court for inspection in camera any statements or confessions made by the defendants which the prosecuting agency intends to introduce into evidence at the trial.
