Sup. Ct. R. D.C. 14

As amended through April 11, 2024
Rule 14 - Relief from Prejudicial Joinder

If it appears that a respondent or the Office of the Attorney General is prejudiced by a joinder of offenses or of respondents in a petition or by such joinder for a factfinding hearing together, the Family Court may order an election or separate factfinding hearings of counts, grant a severance of respondents or provide whatever other relief justice requires. In ruling on a motion by a respondent for severance the Family Court may order the Office of the Attorney General to deliver to the Family Court for inspection in camera any statements made by the respondents which the Office of the Attorney General intends to introduce in evidence at the factfinding hearing.
