charge comments don't map consistently to citation #363

The comments we see associated with charges don't map consistently to the charge citation:

Some of the comments don't even seem RELATED to the charge citation. This is the citation for a drug charge, yet burglary, DUI, etc. Almost any charge seems to be able associated with a citation in the form of the comment, although the most common comment is what we would expect.

What the heck do we do with this? Are comments even worth keeping? Should we keep the most common one?

For the moment, this dilemma is handled by keeping a separate Charges Description table.
