UNINDICTED OR UNCHARGED
CO-CONSPIRATOR AS GOVERNMENT WITNESS
The government has called as
witnesses people who are named by the prosecution as co-conspirators but who
were not charged as defendants. Such witnesses are called [unindicted]
[uncharged] co-conspirators.
You should evaluate their
testimony with care and caution. Consider whether they have an interest in the
case and whether they have a motive to testify falsely. In other words, ask
yourselves whether they have a stake in the outcome of this trial. Whether to
believe the testimony of an [unindicted] [uncharged] co-conspirator, and how
much weight to give it, is up to you.
