Is it legal for a prosecutor to amend an indictment without notice to Grand Jury?
I have no idea if it is legal or not in your jurisdiction. I know of one case where the judge amended the indictment. The defendant was found guilty on the modified indictment. After the post conviction appeals under state law were exhausted, he submitted a petition for a federal writ of habeas corpus. The federal judge sent the case back to the trial court for resentencing on the original indictment. In that particular case, the federal judge said it was not legal. I have no idea if federal law has been changed or not since then. (At the time you got one crack at the federal court. If you had not exhausted state remedies the judge told you and told you to try there. After you tried there if you came back you got sorry you have already been to federal court. While congress only wrote that law for 4th amendment issues, the judges had applied it across the board!)
