Example of those 5 felonies 2 + misdemeanor the are for the same crime. I dunno if that guy is guilty or innocent but it really annoys me that the common practice of the so called justice system is not to find innocence or guilt, but rather to throw a bunch of charges at the same crime, hoping at least some stick..

I disagree. One action can be multiple crimes. For example, consider a person using a gun to steal a car. That one act can be the crime of theft/car jacking , as well as assault (shoving a gun in the driver' face). It is legitimate to charge the suspected criminal on both counts.
And if two people committed the car jacking, and planned it before hand, there is also the crime of conspiracy. |
