For more information, please contact [email protected]. LESSER INCLUDED OFFENSES IN OKLAHOMA CHRISTEN R. BLAIR* Introduction The lesser included offense doctrine in criminal law generally allows the trier of fact to convict a defendant of an offense that is less serious than the offense with which he was charged in the accusatory pleading.' While the doctrine originally developed as an aid to the prosecution when there was insufficient evidence to convict on the charged offense,2 today it is more often used by defendants seeking a conviction for an offense less serious than that actually charged.3 Regardless of who invokes the doctrine in a criminal trial, however, its application has caused considerable confusion among courts and commentators alike.4 Commentators have called it a "Gordian Knot" 5 and a "many-headed hydra." ' 6 The Florida Supreme Court has stated: "The doc- trine [of lesser included offense] is one which has challenged the effective administration of criminal justice for centuries," 7 while the District of Col- umbia Circuit Court of Appeals has said that the doctrine "[is] not without difficulty in any area of the criminal law." 8 The primary cause of this confu- sion is the existence of several different definitions of a lesser included offense, sometimes even within the same jurisdiction.

  • Report Cover and Inside Pages
    Report of North Carolina Crimes to the Criminal Recodification Working Group Prepared by North Carolina Administrative office of the courts January 31, 2019 About the North Carolina Judicial Branch The mission of the North Carolina Judicial Branch is to protect and preserve the rights and liberties of all the people as guaranteed by the Constitutions and laws of the United States and North Carolina by providing a fair, independent and accessible forum for the just, timely and economical resolution of their legal affairs. About the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts The mission of the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts is to provide services to help North Carolina’s unified court system operate more efficiently and effectively, taking into account each courthouse’s diverse needs, caseloads, and available resources. Introduction The North Carolina General Assembly established the Criminal Law Recodification Working Group in 2017. This informal group, co-chaired by Representative Dennis Riddell and Senator Andy Wells, has been tasked with developing strategies to streamline and simply the state’s criminal code. In 2018, the General Assembly enacted S.L. 2018-69 which requires multiple agencies to provide information to the Working Group. Specifically, the legislation requires the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) to identify and list all state crimes that meets one or more of the following criteria: (1) The statute is duplicative. (2) The statute is inconsistent with other statutes, rarely charged, fails to state a mens rea, or contains undefined terms. (3) The statute appears to be obsolete. (4) The statute has been held to be unconstitutional by an appellate court.

Dalton: Criminal Law - Submission to the Jury of Lesser Included Offenses CRIMINAL LAW-SUBMISSION TO THE JURY OF LESSER INCLUDED OFFENSES-State v. Thompson, 297 N.C. 285, 254 S.E.2d 526 (1979). INTRODUCTION Whether or not the judge in a criminal trial is required to charge the jury on a lesser included offense is of utmost impor- tance to a criminal defendant, his counsel and the court. Failure to instruct on lesser included offenses when required will result in a new trial for defendant. From the attorney's standpoint, failure to request such a charge may reveal inadequate representation of his client. The courts have a stake in insuring that required lesser in- cluded offenses are addressed at the trial level because failure to do so results in renewed litigation and further expense to both the state and the defendant.1 The determinative factor for charging on a lesser included of- fense is the presence of evidence offered at trial from which a jury could find that such a crime of a lesser degree was committed.
