Yes indeed they can, nurse -- let's hope that is the clarification they were after. There must be 12 votes total (unanimous) on one or the other -- each method is murder, they are just different ways of causing it.
Maybe someone else can explain it better....
About two years ago a man committed the Farmville murders - he killed two teenagers, one of their mothers and the father who entered the house at a later time. This happened in Virginia - there are threads on WS. Anyway, I remember he was charged with eight or ten or counts of murder. I tried back then to understand it, but never could completely understand the differentiation in the charges as he killed four people.
Some states issue charges this way while some do not.
