Hello.  This is probably simple, but I'm having a hard time making use of some json data, and hoping someone can help.

Given some data that looks like this  (I added a couple of carriage returns for readability):

SELECT _message_body->'Charges' FROM message_import_court_case where _message_exchange_id=1296;
                                                                                                                                                                                            ?column?

How can I extract the two "Name" elements?  (i.e.:

Possession of Burglary Tools

Burglary In The Second Degree (Commercial)

This is with 9.6.20.  Thanks in advance!
