The two he was charged with fall under that. But the trial court attempted to convict and sentence on the one crime, and convict with no sentence imposed on the other, thus imposing double jeopardy. The court reversed on that aspect, as an additional conviction could potentially prejudice the defendant when it comes to future crimes sentencing. Hope that explains it better. My apologies, writing on Dayquil is not my strong suit.

Or did I miss that? I might have to look up the “Womac” decision.
