		The law on criminal procedure has the purpose of establishing the rules that shall be respected and strictly implemented in order to determine by law the existence of a criminal offense.
		It is not sufficient just to have a criminal offense and damages caused by the offense but there shall also be a relationship between the two elements: cause and effect, or in other words the damage is the direct result of the offense and it really and currently occurs.
		In any criminal jurisdiction, the clerk shall be responsible for writing a summary report of the hearing to allow the Appeal Court to effectively control the lawfulness of the proceeding, and to have a knowledge as compete as possible of the oral investigation during the hearing.

		The court in Sours II reaffirmed its ruling that armed criminal action and the underlying felony are the "same offense" and that the Double Jeopardy Clause bars separately punishing a defendant for both offenses, notwithstanding the acknowledged intent of the legislature to impose two separate punishments.
		Assuming arguendo that armed criminal action and its underlying offense amount to the "same offense" under the Blockburger test, that fact alone is not, as the Missouri courts have assumed, dispositive of the double jeopardy question presented here.
		Where the punishment authorized for the compound offense is invariably greater than that for the predicate offenses, it may be reasonable to assume that the legislature intended the punishment for the compound offense completely to supplant the punishment for its predicates.

	5 Wn.2d 686, THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, Respondent, v. ALEX DOMANSKI, Appellant
		Stat., § 2312, requiring one charged with a criminal offense to be brought to trial within sixty days after the information is filed, has no application to such a charge.
		The severer penalty provided by statute for one who is an habitual criminal is not imposed for an offense, except the last one (in this case, burglary in the second degree), upon which the defendant has been convicted and not yet sentenced.
		Since one being charged with being an habitual criminal is not charged with a criminal offense, it necessarily follows that the statute requiring one charged with a criminal offense to be brought to trial within sixty days after the information is filed, has no application.
