Wright v. Stategreen2 sentences2014The trial court stated that “it is true that the statute number at the end of the indictment in this cause is [section 93-3-7,] which should have been [section 97-3-7].” However, the trial court explained that the Mississippi Supreme Court has held that “when dealing with indictments, ... we employ a rule of substance over form.” The trial court cited Wright v. State, 958 So.2d 158 (Miss.2007), wherein the supreme court stated that “although a typographical error existed concerning the subsection number, the substance of the indictment read that Wright was charged with forcible rape.” As a res 2009In Wright v. State, 958 So.2d 158, 169 (¶ 34) (Miss.2007), the supreme court found that the defendant’s indictment was sufficient to provide notice of the crime charged where the substance of the indictment charged the defendant with the proper crime; but because of a typographical error, the indictment listed the wrong subsection of the charging statute. | 1 | 2 |
