Description

https://www.ca10.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/clerk/Jury%20Instructions%20Update%202018.pdf A lesser included offense is a criminal offense that consists of some, but not all the elements of a more serious crime. It is considered to be a lesser crime than the crime of which it is a part. Lesser included offenses can be either felony or misdemeanor charges, depending on the severity of the underlying offense. There are two types of lesser included offenses: statutory and non-statutory. Statutory lesser included offenses are those that are specifically enumerated in criminal statutes. Non-statutory lesser included offenses are those that are not specifically enumerated in criminal statutes, but may still be considered a lesser included offense based on case law. Examples of lesser included offenses include second-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter, and assault and battery.
