‘He was convicted on 3 counts.’
What does ‘counts’ mean here?
Is it three type of charges or crimes?
Please explain.
Thanks.
Another question where a dictionary would help:
count noun (CRIME)
› [C] specialized law a particular crime that a person is accused of:
The prisoner was found guilty on two counts of murder.
Beeesneees,
What is ‘two counts of murder’?
‘murder’ is a single act.
How comes two counts in a single murder?
Could you please explain.
Thanks.
Two murders.
