In MN if he was charged with RD or CD or speed it would not really matter if it was 100 over or ten over. Was he speeding? Did his conduct endanger someone else's life or property? If yes to both he is guilty of speed hazardous. Was his conduct as proved at the trial careless or reckless? Then he would be guilty of CD or RD. HE would be sentanced on only one of the charges usually the most serious.They can basically amend the facts on the ticket to conform to the facts proved. If you were charged with Murder and the indictment said you hit the person with a bat it would not be a good defense that you used a pipe. I actually saw a pro se defendant try that. He said he only kicked the guy in the head with his foot and not with a bat. nice try. About 90% of all cases settle before trial.
