The applications to consolidate were dismissed because the prosecution failed to show consolidation would not cause unfair prejudice: insufficient preparation time remaining, likely substantial additional work due to non-overlapping witnesses and evidence, real risk of counsel unavailability, underestimated trial duration making prejudice to defendants (including privately funded ones) likely, and practical resource constraints; therefore no sufficient reason to change milestone trial dates.
