Part 23 · Misdemeanors or Felonies – Indictment or Information

Rule 23.09. Misdemeanors or Felonies – Indictment or Information – Unavailability of Original

Amended January 1, 2003 (current)

If the original indictment or information is unavailable for any reason, a copy, certified by the clerk of the court or by the prosecuting attorney, may be substituted.

Committee Notes

The source is prior Rule 24.18 but it is broader than the prior rule in that its application is not limited to when the indictment or information is lost or destroyed.
