1.13 Separate Consideration for Each Defendant refers to the legal principle that each defendant in a criminal case must be assessed separately for their individual guilt or innocence. This means that the court cannot take into consideration the actions of one defendant as evidence against any other defendant, and each defendant must be considered on their own individual merits. There are two types of considerations for each defendant: individual guilt and collective guilt. Individual guilt is when the court assesses the evidence against a single defendant and determines their guilt or innocence. Collective guilt is when the court assesses the evidence against the group of defendants as a whole and determines their overall guilt or innocence.
