Criminal Procedure
Amended informations

Lenin Correa appeals from a judgment of conviction, entered after a jury trial, for five sex crimes involving two young boys. He argues: (1) “the prosecutor abused her discretion by amending the information to include a third count of sexual abuse” prior to trial; (2) the trial court erroneously exercised its discretion when it granted the State’s motion to amend the amended information at the close of trial; and (3) there was insufficient evidence to convict Correa of sexual assault because the boys’ testimony was “inherently incredible as a matter of law.” (Some uppercasing omitted.) We reject Correa’s arguments and affirm the judgment. This opinion will not be published.
