defendants and accused(s) as aforesaid Explanation: Defendant pluralis/zes better than accused. Both terms are used interchangeably in textbooks on the English law of evidence, though there may be scenarios where they are different e.g. on a private prosecution: defendant. I doubt it's accused on the merits, such as on 'committal' to examine if there is enough evidencem- 'taken at its highest level' - to convict.
