1. “(9) “Included offense” means an offense that: (a) is established by proof of the same or less than all the facts required to establish the commission of the offense charged; (b) consists of an attempt to commit the offense charged or to commit an offense otherwise included in the offense charged ; or (c) differs from the offense charged only in the respect that a less serious injury or risk to the same person, property, or public | interest or a lesser kind of culpability suffices to establish its commission.
