FELONYFelony
What does this charge mean?
This statute is not a criminal offense—it is a procedural rule stating that when a defendant is convicted of one crime, that conviction does not prevent the prosecutor from charging and trying the defendant for a different crime that was committed at an earlier time. This is a procedural/administrative statute, not a criminal law.
