Problem

The problem is that some States allow prosecutors to stack felonies together is such a way that you can move a charge up from something like manslaughter to murder. This is extremely problematic because it allows Prosecutors to force people to admit to a less charge they might be innocent of to avoid possibly going to prison for a long time for the trumped-up charge.

Solution

The solution is to ban the practice outright.
