In cases with multiple defendants, criminal defense attorneys often face complex legal dynamics. They assess whether joint representation or severance of trials would benefit their client. Criminal defense attorneys focus on minimizing their client’s involvement by highlighting distinctions in actions, intent, or culpability compared to co-defendants. They may negotiate separate plea agreements or argue motions to exclude evidence tied to other defendants. By crafting individualized defense strategies, criminal defense attorneys ensure that their client’s case is presented independently, mitigating the risk of collective guilt and ensuring fair treatment throughout the legal process.
