3 Cards On This Topic:
Court properly solved Aranda/Bruton problem by using dual juries, with each jury excused at appropriate times to avoid exposure to co-D's extrajudicial statements.
2 juries at joint trial permissible to prevent prejudice to one D by introduction of extrajudicial statements of co-D.
Use of dual juries if statement which violates Aranda cannot be "sanitized."
