The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““North Carolina law has long provided that ‘[t]here can be no trial, conviction, or punishment for a crime without a formal and sufficient accusation. In the absence of an accusation the court a[c]quires no jurisdiction [whatsoever], and if it assumes jurisdiction a trial and conviction are a nullity.’ ” In other words, an indictment must allege every element of an offense in order to confer subject matter jurisdiction on the court.”
