During the sentencing hearing the State failed to submit any competent evidence that defendant qualified under M.C.A. section 99-19-83

The multi-count indictment failed to charge an essential element of armed robbery. But through jury instructions the elements was submitted via constructive amendment.
That's a big one. If the indictment failed to charge an essential element, then that should mean that the indictment was fatally defective, and therefore subject to dismissal.

Got 2 tickets today for no license and not stopping at a stop sign. But the officer wrote on both tickets it's a 2023 the year of the car. But it's a 2002 model.
