1. ““It is clear from decisions of this court that if one or more defendants are jointly indicted they are to be tried together, unless the trial court in the exercise of sound discretion considers that separate trials should be granted. (People v. Gendron, 41 Ill. 2d 351, 356 ; People v. Ross, 41 Ill. 2d 445, 461 , cases cited.) For the trial court in weighing a motion for separate trials ‘The paramount inquiry is whether the defenses are of such an antagonistic nature that a severance is imperative to insure a fair trial. [Citations.]’ (People v. Gendron, 41 Ill. 2d at 356-357 .)””
