(I) If a si~gle .act or series of acts is of such a nature that it is doubtful which of
several offences the facts which can be proved will constitute, the accused
may be charged with having committed the offence which appears the more
probable to have been committed and he may be charged in the alternative
with having committed all other offences which the facts which can be
proved might constitute.
(2) Where the evidence shows that the accused committed an offence with
which he might have been charged in the alternative and the offence is
within the jurisdiction of the court, he may be convicted of such offence
notwithstanding that he was not charged with it, where such offence is of
lesser gravity than the offence charged.
(3) Nothing in this Article shall prevent the court from applying the provisions
of Art. 6 and 9 Penal Code.
