What is a lesser included offense?

This video introduces the lesser included offense. A lesser included offense is a less serious crime that includes all the elements of a more severe crime. As a result, when a person commits that more serious crime, he has also committed the less serious crime. If the person is convicted of the more serious crime, the court does not need to convict him of the less serious crime.
