In a superseding indictment, where there is no specific date set forth in the original indictment, what is the current state of the law on time?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Palmer, 988 F.2d 124 (9th Cir. 1993):
We reject his claim that the lack of a definite time frame in the superseding indictment denied him sufficient constitutional protections. The indictment set forth the specific dates of May 31, 1990 to June 7, 1990. Although the government might have used more precise language to specify the time period, we find no error. United States v. Dischner, 960 F.2d 870, 886 (9th Cir.1992).
