NOTE:
SECTION 13, RULE 110 of the Revised Rules of Court
Purpose of Rule:
The Information is defective when it charges two
or more offenses. The rule enjoining the
charging of two or more offenses in an
Information has for its aim to give the defendant
the necessary knowledge of the charge to enable
him to prove his defenses. The State should not
heap upon the defendant two or more charges
against him which might confuse him in his
defenses.
