Miss. R. Crim. P. 14.5
Comment
Rule 14.5 is consistent with Article 3, Section 27 of the Mississippi Constitution. A properly executed waiver of indictment vests the trial court with full authority to dispose of the felony offense for which indictment was waived. See Williams v. State, 708 So. 2d 1358, 1364 (Miss. 1998).
