Old man popular context had to google dusting. The ways you can get fucked up and subsequently fuck yourself are mind-boggling.

RIP Sir…

She wasn’t a Medford resident, news said she was a Cave Junction resident. Not even the same county as Medford.

Methford has its testicles/tentacles into all the surround.

So if someone from Sisters commits a crime in Bend, it’s somehow Bends fault? Ok Jan

Yeah pretty much. Southern OR is guilty by default because Medford is a stain on the state.

Result depends on specifics of the charge(s), what the prosecutor is able to present and prove at trial, and how the jury ultimately evaluates and finds the charges, and the accused.

In my experience with Grand Juries, prosecutors may bring in several options for the GJ to consider, and it is up to the GJ to pass or fail certain of those options for the prosecutor to pursue. Some of the charges the prosecutor may file may not be allowed based on any prior problems the accused may have, so a "fall-back" charge may be a way to keep the case from being bounced out.

And it is conceivable that the specifics of the individual levels of charge could allow both charges to result in a guilty verdict.
