The judge ruled that the four co-defendants charged with the murder of Tushar Atre would each face their own trial for a fair proceeding.
Arguments were made that the co-defendants' statements during interrogations could jeopardize a fair trial, leading to the decision for severed trials.
Assistant District Attorney Michael McKinney argued that with adequate redactions, the statements made by co-defendants could still allow for a single trial.
The trial's next hearing is scheduled for December 10, with Stephen Nicolas Lindsay set to be the first defendant to go to trial.
