““Finally, with respect to appellant’s argument that it was error not to accord Roberts a separate trial because of Wyrick’s prior conviction of felony, the granting of a separate trial is a discretionary function of trial courts requiring a fine attention to what is fair in each case and to the administration of justice generally. Rule 254 of the Rules of Criminal Procedure, 17 A.R.S. In the case at hand, we find no abuse of discretion in allowing the same jury to judge both defendants in light of the same evidence upon a single trial. See State v. Smith, 60 Ariz. 305 , 135 P.2d 879 , and United States v. Stracuzza, D.C.S.D.N.Y., 158 F.Supp. 522, 524 .” 85 Ariz. at 255 , 336 P.2d at 152 .”
