In regards to the "criminal activity" alleged, how specific does the indictment have to be? Can the State simply allege (which in my situation is "theft") OR does the State have allege each and every element of the crime?

I was the AG's Money Laundering prosecutor for two years. We took the position for a long time that we could be very general, and never lost to a Motion to Quash. I believe it would be sufficient to allege theft. However, I would be aware of what facts you would amend the indictment with, should a judge decided to grant a motion to quash.
