It seems unconstitutional to allow the jury to vote on a different crime than what was specified in the charges that were filed by the DA. The defense gears its arguments to ThOSE charges, and not to other hypothetical charges. So allowing the jury to convict on some other crime denies the defendant a proper defense.
