    That’s not how it works in France at all. You get prosecuted on all charges, but only condmned for the most grievous offence. So for a murder+assault+trespassing case, if found guilty of all charges, your sentence would only be for murder.

    As all condemnation it takes context into account, like the assault + trespassing, but if there were limits on murder sentences then you’d only be condemnable to that crime’s legal sentencing limits (there are none for murder, which is the only crime that has no sentencing limits).
