STATE v. HOFFMAN

No. 56990.

508 So.2d 669 (1987)

STATE of Mississippi v. John C. HOFFMAN.

Supreme Court of Mississippi.

June 3, 1987.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Cono A. Caranna, II, Dist. Atty., Margaret Alfonso, Asst. Dist. Atty., Gulfport, for appellant.

John C. Hoffman, Gulfport, for appellee.

Before WALKER, C.J., and DAN M. LEE and PRATHER, JJ.


PRATHER, Justice, for the Court:

This appeal involves the elements of the crime of false pretenses and calls upon this Court to assess the sufficiency of criminal information formally charging John Hoffman with the commission of such a crime. This Court concludes, as did the trial judge, that the information "does not particularize the crime of false pretenses" to the degree required by law and was thus properly dismissed on defense demurrer.
