Zafiro v. United States

Holding used

Mutually antagonistic defenses do not compel severance; Rule 14 relief addresses serious risks to a specific trial right or reliable verdict, and lesser measures may suffice.

Material limitation

The indictment, evidence, statements, limiting instructions, and asserted trial right determine the application.
