Dell, Gunther, Shahood
Scala v. State
Opinion of the Court
We affirm Appellant’s convictions for burglary of an occupied dwelling and grand theft, but reverse the additional conviction and sentence for failure to appear.
Conviction for a charge not made by information or indictment is a denial of due process, and the complete failure to charge a crime is a defect that'can be raised at
We remand and direct the trial court to vacate the conviction and sentence for failure to appear.
AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED IN PART and REMANDED.
