1. “State v. Cook, supra, emphasizes the effect of the State's failure to amend the original bill as the law requires. . . . The State's failure to file the amended bills unfortunately creates an error patent on the face of the record and requires our reversal of the trial court's actions, even though the trial judge was not at fault. The trial court simply was without jurisdiction to accept defendant's guilty pleas to non-existent amended bills of information.”
