Key legal question
Whether the public-law appeal alleging breach of the accusation principle and the right to be heard should succeed
Extracted holding
No. The indictment described the facts sufficiently, the fraud-by-habit qualification was foreseeable, and any defect was cured on appeal because the appellate court had full review and the defendant could address the legal issue.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the reference to fraud in the remand order covered the aggravated form as well; the defendant knew the factual allegations and was able to defend himself. The appellate proceedings allowed full discussion of the aggravating circumstance, so no irreparable denial of defense rights existed.
