Green v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseDeandra Antwan Green filed a special demurrer alleging that his indictment was void because it failed to show that the charged offenses occurred on a date prior to the grand jury's return of the indictment. The trial court found that the court clerk had made an error in writing the date on which the indictment was returned in open court, but that the error was cured by the clerk's actions and testimony. The Supreme Court granted Green's application for interlocutory appeal to determine whether the trial court was correct in overruling the special demurrer. Upon review, the Court held that the clerk's clerical error in entering the indictment's return date was an immaterial defect that could be corrected. Therefore, the Court affirmed.
