§ 135.713 Necessity of stating presumptions of law and matters judicially noticed

Here's a plain English summary of this rule:

When prosecutors write up formal charges against someone (like an indictment), they don't need to spell out every legal presumption or fact that courts already accept as true. Some things are just built into the legal system and don't need to be explained or proven again in the charging paperwork.

For example, courts generally accept certain basic facts as true without needing proof, like the fact that a specific date fell on a certain day of the week, or that a particular law was in effect at a certain time. These are called "matters of judicial notice." Similarly, the law sometimes assumes certain things are true unless proven otherwise (a "presumption of law"), like assuming someone knows the law they're accused of breaking.

This rule simply means the charging document doesn't need to include these automatic assumptions or well known facts. Prosecutors can leave them out because the court already recognizes them as true. This keeps charging documents shorter and more focused on the actual facts of the case that need to be proven.
