Prosecutors are trying the cases separately.

The Salt Lake County court heard from his accuser and her parents during the three-day trial.
Rossi declined to testify on his own behalf.
His accuser said Rossi held her down and "forced me to have sex with him".
The court heard that she began a relationship with Rossi while recovering from a traumatic brain injury in 2008.
The woman, who can't be named for legal reasons, said she responded to a personal ad Rossi had placed on Craigslist and the pair were engaged within about two weeks.
But the relationship soured and Rossi became "controlling and saying mean things to me", the court heard.
She described an incident on the day she was raped in which Rossi pounded on her car and used his body to block her from pulling out of a garage.
When she eventually went into the house with him, he pushed her onto his bed, held her down and "forced me to have sex with him", she testified.
Rossi appeared in court in a wheelchair, wearing a suit and tie and using an oxygen tank.
Despite prosecutors saying he had used at least a dozen aliases Rossi used over the years, his victim identified him from the witness stand, saying he's "a little bit heavier, a little bit older" but mostly looks the same.
Rossi's lawyers sought to convince the jury that her motivation in accusing him of rape was resentment over their relationship.
He will face sentencing on 20 October for this case, and is set to stand trial in September for the other rape charge in Utah County.In 2020, Rossi faked his own death and fled to the UK to avoid criminal charges.
After marrying Miranda Knight in Bristol, the pair moved to Glasgow where he was ultimately caught by police while he was in hospital being treated for COVID.
Medical staff at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital recognised him from his tattoos, images of which had been circulated on an Interpol red notice.

Police seize £180,000 Aston Martin deposit from Andrew Tate
Police have seized £180,000 from Andrew Tate after a court heard he paid the money for a special edition Aston Martin through tax evasion and money laundering. Devon and Cornwall Police obtained account freezing and forfeiture orders at Westminster Magistrates' Court for the Valhalla supercar deposit. The funds add to almost £2.7m of criminal assets seized from Mr Tate and his brother Tristan, since December 2024. The police action was submitted to the court on the same basis as previous applications made by the force last year. At that time, Judge Goldspring said in his judgment that he was satisfied of the "overall criminality of deliberate and dishonest cheat of the revenue". He added that the Tate brothers had "engaged in long-standing conduct to evade their tax". The pair had not opposed the latest account freezing and forfeiture orders, the police statement said. Sarah Clarke KC, representing Devon and Cornwall Police, told the court the funds deposited with Aston Martin originally came from a Coinbase cryptocurrency account. The account held multiple cryptocurrencies purchased with funds derived from the Tate brothers' business activities. No tax or VAT had been paid on the funds, which had been laundered through the bank accounts that were the subject of the previous applications, the court heard. Detective Superintendent Jon Bancroft said: 'This latest judgement follows on from our applications made against the Tate brothers, which resulted in a successful ruling in December 2024 and the forfeiture of nearly £2.7 million of criminal funds. 'From the outset, we aimed to demonstrate that Andrew and Tristan Tate evaded their tax obligations and laundered money. We succeeded in doing exactly that and we have succeeded again this week. 'This further successful outcome shows how we will relentlessly pursue all criminal funds without fear or favour. In a statement, the force said the money would be distributed in line with the Proceeds of Crime Act and would benefit communities, victims of crime and vulnerable people, while the Treasury would receive 50 per cent to be spent on public services. Mr Tate, a former professional kickboxer, faces a civil trial at the High Court next summer over claims of rape and sexual violence brought by four women. He and his brother are also facing prosecution in Romania over allegations of trafficking minors, sexual intercourse with a minor and money laundering. Solve the daily Crossword

A NEW book delves into Victorian-era crime in the Black Country. Tracey Blundell's Crime in the Victorian Black Country looks into the criminal behaviour of the working classes between 1870 and 1890 and the attitudes of those enforcing the law. The book uses previously unpublished material from primary sources and archive literature, showing a range of offences from petty theft to murder. It also looks at the attitudes of those enforcing the law during that time. The author, Tracey Blundell, is an associate lecturer with the Open University and has 20 years of experience in criminal law. She retrained to teach further education and has a Master's degree in local history. She is also a social historian who aims to give the working classes of history a voice.
