Article 200 - Indictment and Related Instruments
200.30 - Indictment; Duplicitous Counts Prohibited.


1. Each count of an indictment may charge one offense only.

2. For purpose of this section, a statutory provision which defines
the offense named in the title thereof by providing, in different
subdivisions or paragraphs, different ways in which such named offense
may be committed, defines a separate offense in each such subdivision or
paragraph, and a count of an indictment charging such named offense
which, without specifying or clearly indicating the particular
subdivision or paragraph of the statutory provision, alleges facts which
would support a conviction under more than one such subdivision or
paragraph, charges more than one offense.
