The State has to bring all charges eminating from one transaction or occurance at the same time and in one trial.

I am not sure that necessarily applies here. The burglary, the kidnapping and the rape all occurred as seperate incidents.

It's not like he killed two people with one bullet, so he stands trial only once for the shooting, or like he shot the same guy 5 times, and the state wants to try him seperately for each bullet.

It seems to me that breaking in was one crime, kidnapping Elizabeth was another, and raping her was another. But I could be wrong.

My reply was incorrect. Had a brain freeeze or something.
