Double jeopardy has nothing to do with the same act, but makes it impossible to try a defendant twice for the same crime -- i.e. the identical statutory offense. If one shoots someone else, he may commit murder, and, at the same time, discharge a fire arm within the city limits? That is not a lesser included offense, since in general, it is possible to shoot someone outside of the city limits. A good defense lawyer insists that all possible offenses be pled to, leaving nothing else hanging to permit the state to -- well -- hang his client.
