Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
If 2 defendants were arrested for a 211 & 212.5 and cases are currently joined, can they be split if one defendant wants to take a plea bargain and the defendant wants to go to trial instead of accepting plea? If not, how does this affect the defendant who wants to take the plea bargain?

If the DA is willing to split the cases, one can plead out without the other. Sometimes the DAs office will only make a "package deal" so that one can't plead out and have the remaining defendant blame him for everything.
