Proposal:  Obvious rule patch
(AI = 2, co-authors = Bayushi and ais523)

Amend Rule 1504 (Criminal Cases) by replacing part (e) of the section on
GUILTY with this text:

       (e) the defendant could have reasonably avoided committing the
           breach without thereby committing a different breach of
           equal or greater severity.

[Legislates the judgement of CFJ 3398.  As for intentionally setting up
such a situation, if the defendant could have reasonably have avoided
setting it up, then the judge should ding them on that point.]
