APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 02-0224/AF.  U.S. v. Robert S. BREWER.  CCA 33741.  On further consideration of the granted issues, 61 M.J. 54 (C.A.A.F. 2005), and in light of this Court’s decisions in United States v. Martinelli, 62 M.J. 52 (C.A.A.F. 2005), United States v. Mason, 60 M.J. 15 (C.A.A.F. 2004), and United States v. O’Connor, 58 M.J. 450 (C.A.A.F. 2003), it is ordered that Specification 4 of Charge II is amended to read as follows:

 

In that STAFF SERGEANT ROBERT S. BREWER, United States Air Force, Air Force Information Warfare Center, did, in Forfar, Scotland, on divers occasions between on or about 1 September 1994 and on or about 30 September 1996, knowingly transport in interstate or foreign commerce, for the purpose of distribution, visual depictions of an obscene, lewd, lascivious, or filthy nature. in violation of 18 USC, Section 1465.

 

     That Specifications 2 and 3 of the Additional Charge are amended to read as follows:

 

In that STAFF SERGEANT ROBERT S. BREWER, United States Air Force, Air Force Information Warfare Center, did, in Forfar, Scotland, on or about 30 September 1996, knowingly possess child pornography, in violation of 18 USC, Sec 2252A.

 

In that STAFF SERGEANT ROBERT S. BREWER, United States Air Force, Air Force Information Warfare Center, did, in San Antonio, Texas, on divers occasions between on or about 1 December 1997 and on or about 12 January 1998, knowingly possess videotapes depicting child pornography in violation of 18 USC, Sec 2252A.

 

     The decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed as to all Charges and Specifications, as amended above, as well as to sentence.

 

CRAWFORD, Judge (concurring in part and dissenting in part):

 

Because I agree that Appellant’s pleas were provident to lesser-included offenses under clause 1 and 2 of Article 134, I concur in affirming Appellant’s conviction.  Consistent with my dissent in Martinelli, however, I disagree that Appellant’s guilty plea to specification 2 of the additional Charge was improvident to the clause 3, Article 134 offense charged.  From that portion of the order I respectfully dissent.

 

No. 02-0759/AR.  U.S. v. Travis D. HOLMES.  CCA 20010004.  On further consideration of the granted issue, 61 M.J. 55 (C.A.A.F. 2005), and in light of this Court’s decision in United States v. Martinelli, 62 M.J. 52 (C.A.A.F. 2005), it is ordered that the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals as to Specification 1 of Charge III and the sentence is reversed, but affirmed in all other respects.  The findings of guilty of Specification 1 of Charge III and the sentence are set aside and the record of trial is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Army for further action consistent with this Court’s decision in United States v. Martinelli, 62 M.J. 52 (C.A.A.F. 2005).1/

 

GIERKE, Chief Judge (concurring in the result):

 

I would reverse based on the military judge’s use of an unconstitutional definition of “child pornography,” see United States v. O’Connor, 58 M.J. 450 (C.A.A.F. 2003), rather than on an absence of the extraterritorial application of the Child Pornography Prevention Act.  See United States v. Martinelli, 62 M.J. 52, 68-77 (C.A.A.F. 2005)(Gierke, C.J., concurring in part and dissenting in part).

 

CRAWFORD, Judge (dissenting):
