"Some states have eliminated the merger doctrine, permitting defendants to be convicted of both the lesser included charge and the greater charge."

What states?

Robbery and assault

edit

AFAIK, robbery doesn't have to include an assault, only a theft and a threat of violence. NeonMerlin 17:37, 21 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

The threat of violence is assault. Actual violence is battery. 144.132.91.12 02:19, 2 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
