Text: AMENDED THE INDICTMENT AGAINST KOENIG. ¶26. Koenig contends that the Commission amended the indictment against it after the case was remanded from chancery court and that it was required to defend against a moving target. The Commission sent a second letter notifying Koenig of the second hearing and the determinations that the Commission would make. As noted previously, additional charges were made, and some were clarified. Koenig claims that this is a violation of Uniform Circuit and County Court Rule 7.09 which states that [a]ll indictments may be amended as to form but not as to the substance of the offense charged. Koenig cites no case law that would make this Rule applicable to an administrative hearing. Further, the letters issued are not indictments. They are notifications of the charges to be determined by an administrative agency. Due process was afforded pursuant to Miss. Code Ann. § 67-1-37 via notice and an opportunity to be heard. This issue is without merit. 13
