context: Idaho Criminal Rule 7(e) authorizes the court to allow amendment of an information at any time before the prosecution rests "if no additional or different offense is charged and if substantial rights of the defendant are not prejudiced." The rule's reference to prejudice to substantial rights means prejudice to the defendant's ability to defend against the charge.
