maybe I'm getting soft in my old age... but I'm starting to get to the point where I believe 'lesser included' shouldn't be a thing

prosecutors should bring the charge they think they can convict on and it's all or nothing

i think it all has to do with D J

the jury can find you guilty of less then they charged you with but if acquitted for the serious charge, like murder, then they cannot retry you for manslaughter, and then if they lose, go down to each lesser charge, until they finally get a conviction, that at its core, is what D J is there to prevent
