Mann v. State

Pope, Judge.

Edward Scott Mann was found guilty of armed robbery and sentenced to fifteen years, to serve seven. He now brings this appeal. Held:

1. Appellant cites as error the trial court’s failure to grant either a motion for directed verdict of acquittal or a motion for new trial on the ground that there existed on the indictment a defective date. The subject crime occurred on June 15,1982, but the indictment listed the date of the offense as June 14,1982. Appellant argues that because of the defective date, he was unable to properly prepare his case.
