Can mean several things. If the questioner has spelled sepArate correctly - it sounds like they might be instructions to keep multiple defendants in the same crime separated from one another.

The rule of "discovery."
One legal right available to criminal defendants but not to civil defendants is the right to a jury trial in certain cases. In criminal cases, defendants have the constitutional right to be tried by a jury of their peers, which is a safeguard against potential government overreach. This right is not universally applicable in civil cases, where trials may be conducted by a judge without a jury, depending on the jurisdiction and the nature of the case. Additionally, criminal defendants have the right against self-incrimination, allowing them to remain silent without facing legal consequences.
In legal terms, a consol defendant refers to a defendant who has been joined together with other defendants in a single lawsuit. This consolidation typically occurs when multiple defendants are involved in a case that shares common issues of fact or law. By consolidating the defendants, the court can streamline the legal process and avoid duplicative or inconsistent rulings.

The plural of defendant is defendants. The plural possessive of defendants is defendants'
have you tried taping two screwdrivers together
I tried for ages to work this out then I finally realised its 11x19! :) .
It is customarily not allowed because the interests of the two defendants may, at some point, not be the same, and a single attorney would have a conflict of interest in attempting to defend two defendants with different interests.
