Shouldn't the first concern be legislative intent. If the legislature intends one shot one count or multiple shots one count seems to be within thier sphere of ability to control by statute. But the legislature, without money from the feds, seems about as willing as the Ohio Supreme Court to address these issues in a coherent manner.

One way to try for resolution of the issue would be for Williams (or the state) to ask the court for reconsideration/clarification. They might even grant it. Of course, whoever asked might end up unhappy with the answer. Letting it go now, on the other hand, gives Williams, at least, three tries to have it come out his way: Common pleas, court of appeals, and then back to Columbus.
