Practice question: Duplicity of the Offense

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

Several factual acts are alleged as components of one legally defined offense. Does their number alone make the charge duplicitous?
  1. Yes, each verb is necessarily a separate offense
  2. Yes, every narrative longer than one sentence is duplicitous
  3. No, because no information can ever be duplicitous
  4. Only the prosecutor’s file name matters
  5. No; the court identifies the actual offenses rather than counts verbs
