“1) that the proof at trial differed so greatly from the charges that [he] was unfairly surprised and was unable to prepare an adequate defense; or 2) that there are so many defendants and separate conspiracies before the jury that there is a substantial likelihood that the jury transferred proof of one conspiracy to a defendant involved in another.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“We undertake a two-step analysis to determine whether separate charges were properly tried at the same time. We first review de novo whether counts were properly joined in one indictment under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 8(a). We then review the denial of a motion to sever under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 14 for abuse of discretion.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“Joinder of offenses is proper where they “are of the same or similar character ... or are connected with or constitute parts of a common scheme or plan.” Fed,R.Crim.P. 8(a). We construe this requirement broadly, in favor of initial joinder. We look only to the allegations stated on the face of the indictment to make our determination.”
