The prosecution is seeking to find a guilty charge on BOTH charges. If the prosecution feels that they cannot prove the Criminal Mischief Charge, they must (at any point during the debate) inform the readers that they are no longer pushing for a guilty charge of Criminal Mischief and have decided to only go after Criminal Trespassing. If the prosecution does not verbally say, "I am no longer seeking a guilty charge of Criminal Mischief" and Sydney Briggs is found "NOT GUILTY", Sydney Briggs will be NOT GUILTY on ALL CHARGES. As a voter, you a "juror". By voting CON, you are voting NOT GUILTY for Sydney Briggs.
