FAIR NOTICE OF NATURE AND CAUSE
In criminal cases, prosecuted under the laws of the United States, the
accused has the constitutional right "to be informed of the nature and
cause of the accusation." Amend. VI. In U.S. v. Mills, 7 Pet., 142, this
was construed to mean that the indictment must set forth the offense
"with clearness and all necessary certainty, to apprise the accused of
the crime with which he stands charged;" and in U.S. v. Cook, 17 Wall.,
174 [84 U.S., XXI., 539], that "Every ingredient of which the offense is
composed must be accurately and clearly alleged." It is an elementary
principle of criminal pleading, that where the definition of an offense,
whether it be at common law or by statute, "includes generic terms, it
is not sufficient that the indictment shall charge the offense in the
same generic terms as in the definition; but it must state the species;
it must descend to particulars." 1 Arch. Cr. Pr. and Pl., 291. The
object of the indictment is, first, to furnish the accused with such a
description of the charge against him as will enable him to make his
defense, and avail himself of his conviction or acquittal for protection
against a further prosecution for the same cause; and, second, to
inform the court of the facts alleged, so that it may decide whether
they are sufficient in law to support a conviction, if one should be
had. For this, facts are to be stated, not conclusions of law alone. A
crime is made up of acts and intent; and these must be set forth in the
indictment, with reasonable particularity of time, place and
circumstances.
In United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542, 557, the
Supreme court espoused "the universal rule that every ingredient of the
offense must be clearly and accurately described so as to bring the
defendant within the true intent and meaning of the provision defining
the offense. Such a vague and indefinite description of a material
ingredient of the defense [sic] is not a compliance with the rules of
pleading in framing an indictment. On the contrary, such an indictment
is insufficient, and must be held bad on demurrer or in arrest of
judgment. [United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542, 557) Comment: Since
the indictment contained a conclusion of law that DEFENDANT was a
"person required," he was therefore not informed sufficiently in advance
of trial to determine the nature of his plea and to prepare his
defense.] LOL
No where in the the original legislation, the charging
papers, indictment or complaint, is reasonable notice or any indication
given that so and so is a person subject to vicarious liability within
the true intent and meaning of the provision defining the offense.
Opposing counsel's charging papers fail to give notice that he is in
fact a PERSON, or creature of statute, subject to vicarious liability
within the intent of the law.
A person's right to reasonable
notice of a charge against him and an opportunity to be heard in his
defense are basic, and such rights include, as a minimum, a right to
examine witnesses against him, to offer testimony, and to be represented
by counsel.
My client would like to settle this matter today,
and abate, arrest judgement, demurrer, plea in Bar, Plea in abatement
out of bar, ect ect this matter until apposing counsel, given notice
error and grace to amend insufficient process, can respond or answer as
required and amend his incomplete and insufficient charging papers and
claim to be an actionable one citing appropriate grounds in support, a
bill of particular – lest he fail to respond, answer, or prosecute in
accordance the requirements of due process so that we may reasonably
respond, prepare a defense, or knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily
accept criminal responsibility, mala insa.
