STATE V. RELDAN
401 A.2d 563 (1979)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a motion to order separate trials. Reldon (D) was charged
with two first-degree murders in separate counts of a single indictment, and sought to
prevent joinder of the crimes in a single trial on the basis that it was prejudicial.
FACTS: Reldan (D) was indicted for first-degree murder for two murders. Both victims were
women, both were found nude relatively near each other, both were abducted from the same
area, both were about the same height and weight, and both were killed by strangulation by
use of pantyhose each with a fracture of cartilages of the Hyoid bone. D filed this motion
to order separate trials because he claimed that joinder of the trials would be prejudicial.
