1. If a person is charged with an offence that includes multiple elements, but only some of these elements—enough to constitute a lesser offence—are proven, he may be convicted of the lesser offence, even if it was not explicitly charged.
2. If facts presented in a case reduce the severity of the offence to a lesser one, the accused may be convicted of the lesser offence, even if not originally charged with it.
3. If a person is charged with an offence, he may be convicted of attempting to commit that offence, even if the attempt was not separately charged.
4. However, no conviction for a lesser offence shall be made unless the necessary conditions for initiating proceedings for that offence have been met.
