Note that if there are multiple charges, prosecuting all of them at once benefits the accused as well, who needs to mount only one defense, as opposed to facing multiple trials for multiple charges.
The latter is the case at times especially where federal charges are brought against someone who's been found not guilty on state/local charges within the US. While I understand the tactic, it has significant abuse potential.
