“"1. A defendant may be convicted of an offense included in an offense charged in the indictment or information. An offense is so included when: (1) It is established by proof of the same or less than all the facts required to establish the commission of the offense charged; or (2) It is specifically denominated by statute as a lesser degree of the offense charged...."”
4 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Baker · State v. O'DELL“An offense is a lesser-included offense if it is impossible to commit the charged offense without necessarily committing the lesser. If the greater of the two offenses includes all of the legal and factual elements of the lesser, then the lesser is an included offense. However, if the lesser offense requires the inclusion of some necessary element not so included in the greater offense, the lesser is not necessarily included in the greater.”
