APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 03-0412/AF.  U.S. v. Barry L. HAMILTON.  CCA 35053.  On consideration of Appellant's petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals, and in light of this Court's decision in United States v. O'Connor, 58 M.J. 450 (C.A.A.F. 2003), said petition is granted on the following issue:

 

WHETHER APPELLANT'S GUILTY PLEAS TO THE CHARGE AND ITS SPECIFICATION MUST BE SET ASIDE BECAUSE HIS PLEAS TO POSSESSING CHILD PORNOGRAPHY UNDER 18 U.S.C. § 2252A WERE BASED ON A DEFINITION OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY THAT HAS BEEN PARTIALLY INVALIDATED BY THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.

 

     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.  [See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]

 

CRAWFORD, Chief Judge (dissenting):

 

     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, 455-57 (C.A.A.F. 2003) (Crawford, C.J., dissenting).

 

No. 03-0500/AR.  U.S. v. Thomas E. CARLSON.  CCA 9901060.  On consideration of Appellant's petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals, and in light of this Court's decision in United States v. O'Connor, 58 M.J. 450 (C.A.A.F. 2003), said petition is granted on the following issues:

 

I.  WHETHER THE FINDINGS OF GUILTY OF SPECIFICATIONS 3, 4 AND 6 OF THE CHARGE CAN BE AFFIRMED IN LIGHT OF ASHCROFT v. FREE SPEECH COALITION, 535 U.S. 234 (2002) AND UNITED STATES v. O’CONNOR, 58 M.J. 450 (C.A.A.F. 2003).

 

 

II.  WHETHER THE ARMY COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS ERRED WHEN IT FOUND THAT EACH OF THE IMAGES IN QUESTION WAS A "VISUAL DEPICTION OF A REAL MINOR ENGAGED IN SEXUALLY EXPLICIT CONDUCT WITHIN THE MEANING OF 18 U.S.C. § 2256(8)(A)" WHEN THERE WAS NO FACTUAL BASIS FOR ITS FINDING.

 

     Regarding Issue II, the Court of Criminal Appeals erred in "find[ing]" that any of the images at issue were visual depictions of a "real minor" for purposes of 18 U.S.C. § 2256(8)(A).  The scope of the lower court's factfinding authority under Article 66(c), UCMJ, 10 U.S.C. § 866(c), does not extend to making a "finding of fact" of that nature in the context of a guilty plea, where no aspect of either the plea colloquy or the stipulation of fact is directed toward the character of the images as depicting "real" or "virtual" minors.

 

     Therefore, the decision of the United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals is reversed as to Specifications 3, 4, and 6 of the Charge and the sentence, but is affirmed in all other respects.  The findings as to Specifications 3, 4, and 6 of the Charge and the sentence are set aside.  The record of trial is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Army for remand to a convening authority for a rehearing on Specifications 3, 4, and 6 of the Charge and the sentence.  If a rehearing on Specifications 3, 4, and 6 is deemed impracticable, the specifications may be dismissed and a rehearing on sentence alone will be conducted.  Thereafter, Articles 66 and 67, UCMJ, 10 U.S.C. § 866 and 867, will apply.  [See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]

 

CRAWFORD, Chief Judge (dissenting):  I would dissent as to Issue I based on sections A and B of my dissent in United States v. O'Connor, 58 M.J. 450, 455-57 (C.A.A.F. 2003).  I also dissent on Issue II because the Court of Criminal Appeals properly applied its factfinding power under Article 66(c), UCMJ.

No. 03-0212/AR.  U.S. v. Billy E. CAIN.  CCA 9800797.  Appellee's petition for reconsideration of the Court’s opinion issued on March 19, 2004, denied.

 

CRAWFORD, Chief Judge (dissenting):  I dissent from the denial of reconsideration.  The facts in this case are unique, but not for the reasons set forth by the majority.  Rather, they are unique because Appellant was given separate counsel, Captain L, who rendered independent advice and negotiated a pretrial agreement which resulted in a guilty plea and detailed plea inquiry.  Captain L's representation therefore severed any potential conflict of interest.  Additionally, Appellant waived the conflict with Major S.  Finally, the majority adopts a per se rule which, given the lack of prejudice to Appellant, is contrary to Supreme Court practice.  See, e.g., United States v. Cronic, 466 U.S. 648 (1984).
