ORS 135.725¹
Person injured or intended to be injured

When a crime involves the commission of or an attempt to commit a private injury and is described with sufficient certainty in other respects to identify the act, an erroneous allegation as to the person injured or intended to be injured is not material. [Formerly 132.630]

Notes of Decisions

An indict­ment for obtaining prop­erty by false pretenses containing an erroneous allega­tion as to the ownership of the prop­erty was sufficient under this sec­tion. State v. Alden, 8 Or App 519, 495 P2d 302 (1972)

Allega­tions of ownership were re­quired as part of descrip­tion of stolen prop­erty, not as ele­ment of crime of theft, but to protect defendants from possibility of being charged twice for same of­fense. State v. Hull, 33 Or App 183, 575 P2d 1015 (1978), aff’d 286 Or 511, 595 P2d 1240 (1979)

§§ 135.713 (Necessity of stating presumptions of law and matters judicially noticed) to 135.743 (Fictitious or erroneous name)
