“[Severance is a matter within the sound discretion of the trial court directed toward achieving a fair determination of the defendant’s guilt or innocence of each offense charged. The court should consider, among other relevant factors, the number of offenses charged, the complexity of the evidence to be offered and whether the trier of fact will be able to distinguish the evidence and apply the law intelligently as to each offense.”
