Guam § 65 - When Severance Allowed.
Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 65 — When Severance Allowed., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 65. When Severance Allowed.
If it appears that a defendant or the government is prejudiced by a
joinder of offenses or of defendants in an indictment or information or by
such joinder for trial together, the court may order an election or separate
trials of counts, grant a severance of defendants or provide whatever other
relief justice requires.
NOTE: Section 65.35 is based on former § 1098a and former Rule 14. See also Fed.
R. Crim. P. 14. See generally 8 Moore, Federal Practice && 14.01-14.05 (1974). The
former law provided for the inspection in camera of certain documents on a motion for
severance. This provision is deleted. The statements referred to are now required by §
70.10 to be disclosed to the defense; hence, there is no reason to require them to be
delivered for inspection in camera.
