APPEALS - SUMMARY
DISPOSITIONS
No. 02-0593/AF.
No. 02-0772/NA.
WHETHER THE
NAVY-MARINE
CORPS COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS ERRONEOUSLY SUSTAINED APPELLANT’S
CONVICTIONS
UNDER 18 U.S.C. § 2252 AS HIS PLEAS WERE IMPROVIDENT IN LIGHT OF THE
SUPREME
COURT’S RECENT HOLDING IN ASHCROFT v. FREE SPEECH COALITION.
The decision of
the United
States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals as to Specification
3 of the
Charge and the sentence is reversed, but is affirmed in all other
respects. The finding of guilty of
Specification 3 of the Charge and the sentence are set aside. The record of trial is returned to the Judge
Advocate General of the Navy for remand to the Court of Criminal
Appeals. That Court may either dismiss
Specification 3
of the Charge and reassess the sentence based on the affirmed guilty
findings
or order a rehearing.
CRAWFORD, Chief Judge (concurring in part,
dissenting in part): As to Appellant’s
conviction
for violating 18 U.S.C. § 2252A [Specification 3], I dissent for the
reasons
set forth in Sections A and B of my separate opinion in United
States v.
O’Connor, 58 M.J. 450, 455 (C.A.A.F. 2003) (Crawford, C.J.,
dissenting). As to Appellant’s conviction
for violating 18 U.S.C. § 2252 [Specifications 1 and 2], I concur. [See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW

No. 02-0827/AF.
WHETHER
THE MILITARY JUDGE COMMITTED PREJUDICIAL LEGAL ERROR WHEN HE PROVIDED
AN
INCOMPLETE DEFINITION OF “CHILD PORNOGRAPHY” WHILE INSTRUCTING
APPELLANT ON THE
ELEMENTS TO THE OFFENSES AND WHETHER APPELLANT’S GUILTY PLEA TO
KNOWINGLY
POSSESSING AND TRANSPORTING CHILD PORNOGRAPHY MUST BE SET ASIDE.
Appellant pleaded
guilty to
violating 18 U.S.C. § 2252A (2000), portions of which were subsequently
held to
be unconstitutional in Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition, 535
U.S. 234
(2002). The military judge’s plea
inquiry made no reference to those portions, however, and focused
Appellant’s
attention on the portions of the statute subsequently held to be
constitutional. Appellant’s responses
were directed toward the portions of the statute subsequently held to
be
constitutional, and there is no basis in law and fact for questioning
the
providence of his guilty plea. O’Connor,
58 M.J. at 454.
The decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal
Appeals is
affirmed. [See also ORDERS GRANTING

No. 03-0465/AR.
WHETHER
APPELLANT’S GUILTY
PLEA UNDER THE CHILD PORNOGRAPHY ACT CONSTITUTED A KNOWING AND
INTELLIGENT
WAIVER OF HIS DUE PROCESS RIGHTS WHEN NEITHER THE APPELLANT NOR THE
MILITARY
JUDGE UNDERSTOOD WHAT BEHAVIOR WAS PROSCRIBED BY THE ACT.
Appellant pleaded guilty to violating 18 U.S.C. §
2252A (2000), portions of which were subsequently held to be
unconstitutional
in Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition, 535 U.S. 234 (2002). The military judge’s plea inquiry made no
reference to those portions, however, and focused Appellant’s attention
on the
portions of the statute subsequently held to be constitutional. Appellant’s responses were directed towards
the portions of the statute subsequently held to be constitutional, and
there
is no substantial basis in law and fact for questioning the providence
of his
guilty plea. O’Connor, 58 M.J. at 454. The
decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is
affirmed. [See also ORDERS GRANTING

No. 03-0605/NA.
WHETHER THE
NAVY-MARINE
CORPS COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS ERRED IN AFFIRMING APPELLANT’S
CONVICTION BASED
ON OVERBROAD AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL DEFINITIONS OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY.
The decision of
the United
States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals is reversed and the
findings
of guilty and the sentence are set aside.
The record of trial is returned to the Judge Advocate General of
the
Navy for further action consistent with this Court’s decision in United
States
v. O’Connor, 58 M.J. 450 (C.A.A.F. 2003)
A rehearing may be ordered.
CRAWFORD, Chief Judge (dissenting): I
dissent for the reasons set forth in my
separate opinion in United States v. Thompson, 57 M.J. 319
(C.A.A.F.
2002) (Crawford, C.J., dissenting), and Section A of my separate
opinion in United
States v. O’Connor, 58 M.J. 450, 455 (C.A.A.F. 2003)(Crawford,
C.J.,
dissenting). [See also ORDERS GRANTING

It is further
directed that
Specification 7 of Charge II on the promulgating order be corrected to
reflect
“18
§ 2252(a)(2).” [See also

WHETHER
APPELLANT’S PLEA OF
GUILTY TO OFFENSES UNDER 18 U.S.C. § 2252A WAS IMPROVIDENT BECAUSE HE
HAD AN
INCOMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF THE OFFENSES WHEN THE MILITARY JUDGE
EXPLAINED THE
OFFENSES USING THE UNCONSTITUTIONALLY VAGUE AND OVERBROAD DEFINITIONS
OF CHILD
PORNOGRAPHY CONTAINED IN 18 U.S.C. § 2256.
The decision of
the United
States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals is reversed, and the
findings of
guilty and the sentence are set aside.
The record of trial is returned to the Judge Advocate General of
the Air
Force for further action consistent with this Court’s decision in United
States v. O’Connor, 58 M.J. 450 (C.A.A.F. 2003)
A rehearing may be ordered.
CRAWFORD, Chief Judge (dissenting): As to
Appellant’s conviction for violating 18
U.S.C. § 2252A (2000), I dissent for the reasons set forth in Sections
A, B,
and C of my separate opinion in United States v. O’Connor, 58
M.J. 450,
455 (C.A.A.F. 2003)(Crawford, C.J., dissenting). [See
