>Or perhaps (I know many don't like this, especially the government) a separate trial for each charge.
This is a very bad idea. If the prosecutor can charge 13 crimes that are all substantially the same thing, they get 13 bites at the apple to try to convict you. I imagine it may also violate double jeopardy when the underlying actions for the crimes charged overlap, but I am not a lawyer.
