A prosecutor’s failure to sign an indictment does not invalidate the indictment. G.S. 15A-644(a)(4).
A criminal charge contained in a pleading must be sufficiently definite to identify the offense, enable the defendant to prepare his or her defense, bar a subsequent prosecution for the same offense, and enable the court to impose judgment.
The rules of evidence do not apply at sentencing. G.S. 8C-1101(b)(3).
