Currentness
(a) Of Offenses. Two or more offenses may be joined in an indictment, information, or complaint if they are each stated in a separate count and if they:
(1) are of the same or similar character;
(2) are based on the same conduct or are otherwise connected together in their commission; or
(3) are alleged to have been a part of a common scheme or plan.
(b) Of Defendants. Two or more defendants may be joined if each defendant is charged with each alleged offense, or if the alleged offenses are part of an alleged common conspiracy, scheme, or plan, or are otherwise so closely connected that it would be difficult to separate proof of one from proof of the others.
(c) Consolidation. If offenses or defendants are charged in separate proceedings, the court, on motion or on its own, may wholly or partly consolidate the proceedings in the interests of justice.
