Practice question
A prosecutor correctly identifies a recognized complex crime but omits factual allegations of a required component and says the general label informs the accused enough. Which principle in Reyes matters?
- Every element must be adequately alleged; a legal label alone does not replace factual notice
- A recognized label cures every missing element
- Complex crimes never require facts in the information
- The accused is presumed to know all unalleged facts
- Only the prosecutor’s private file defines the accusation
