Separate Consideration Single Defendant Charged with Multiple Offenses is a legal concept where a single defendant is charged with multiple offenses and the court decides to consider each offense separately. This concept can be applied to a number of different situations, including multiple counts of a single criminal act, multiple separate criminal acts, and multiple counts of a single charge with different factual circumstances. In the case of multiple counts of a single criminal act, the court will examine each count separately, assessing the evidence and potential punishment for each count. In the case of multiple separate criminal acts, the court will assess the evidence and potential punishment separately for each criminal act. In the case of multiple counts of a single charge with different factual circumstances, the court will assess the evidence and potential punishments for each count separately. The types of Separate Consideration Single Defendant Charged with Multiple Offenses include simultaneous offenses, consecutive offenses, concurrent offenses, and plea bargaining. Simultaneous offenses involve a defendant charged with multiple offenses that occur at the same time, such as a defendant charged with armed robbery and assault. Consecutive offenses involve a defendant charged with multiple offenses that occur one after the other, such as a defendant charged with burglary and then assault. Concurrent offenses involve a defendant charged with multiple offenses that occur at the same time or around the same time, such as a defendant charged with possession of a firearm and possession of a controlled substance. Plea bargaining involves a defendant negotiating a plea agreement to reduce the charges against them, such as a defendant charged with robbery and assault negotiating a plea agreement to plead guilty to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct.
