(Appellee) (Appellant) (audio)

Counsel for Appellant: Capt Brian J. Sullivan, JA, USA (brief)
Counsel for Appellee:  Capt Timothy C. Erickson, JA, USA (brief)

Case Summary: GCM conviction of possessing of child pornography and nude images of minors. Specified issues question (1) whether Specification 2 of the Additional Charge is void for vagueness because Appellant was not given fair notice that the charged conduct of possessing "multiple images of nude minors and persons appearing to be nude minors" was forbidden and subject to criminal action; and (2) whether there is a substantial basis in law or fact to question Appellant's guilty plea to Specification 2 of the Additional Charge, which alleges that Appellant possessed "multiple images of nude minors and persons appearing to be nude minors."

Followed by:

United States v.

Calvin J. Davenport No. 13-0573/AR
(Appellee) (Appellant) (audio)

Counsel for Appellant: Capt Brian D. Andes, JA, USA (brief)
Counsel for Appellee: Capt Carrie L. Ward, JA, USA (brief)

Case Summary: GCM conviction of conspiracy, extortion and bribery. Specified issue questions whether the omission of testimony from a trial transcript renders the transcript non-verbatim and therefore subject to the remedy in R.C.M. 1103(f) (1) where the witness's testimony is only relevant to an offense of which Appellant has been acquitted; or, whether such omission should be addressed under R.C.M. 1103(b) (2) (A) (requirement for a complete record) and thus tested for whether the presumption of prejudice has been rebutted. See United States v. Gaskins, 72 M.J. 225 (C.A.A.F. 2013); United States v. Henry, 53 M.J. 108 (C.A.A.F. 2000).
