As you by now know, if you had taken those 30 minutes (probably an overestimate of how long the research would have taken), you would have easily found the case wherein our state supreme court said you cannot add that additional charge. It came out months ago. It's directly on point. No way around it. I think we ought to expect our prosecuting attorneys keep themselves somewhat abreast of the law.
I just want to encourage all lawyers to take that extra time. Just research that pleading before you file it.
