Opinion
CASE NO. 1:07CR00068-002.
March 26, 2007
ORDER [Resolving Doc. 52]
This case is before the Court upon the motion of Defendant Madden to sever her trial from that of her co-defendants. Plaintiff does not oppose the motion.
Pursuant to Criminal Rule 14A, the Court finds severance appropriate. The Court finds that, at trial, the Government may seek to introduce Defendant Madden's extrajudicial statements and such may implicate Defendant Madden's co-defendants' right to confront witnesses against them. Bruton v. United States, 391 U.S. 123, 137 (1968).
Thus, the Court GRANTS Defendant Madden's motion to sever.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
