APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 12-0501/AF.  U.S. v. Jessica E. MCFADDEN.  CCA 37438.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals, it is ordered that said petition is hereby granted on the following issue:

 

WHETHER THE MILITARY JUDGE ABUSED HIS DISCRETION BY FAILING TO EXCUSE FOR CAUSE A COURT MEMBER WHO ACCUSED APPELLANT OF LYING BY OMISSION BY EXERCISING HER RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT.

 

The decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals is vacated, and the case is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Air Force for remand to that court for consideration of the granted issue in light of United States v. Nash, 71 M.J. 83 (C.A.A.F. 2012), without prejudice to raising other issues in a subsequent appeal.

 

No. 13-0004/AF.  U.S. v. Corey R. LENKNER.  CCA S31997.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals, we note that the court below affirmed a sentence that included hard labor without confinement after the convening authority had not approved that punishment.  Accordingly, it is ordered that said petition is hereby granted on the following issue: 

 

WHETHER THE AIR FORCE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS ERRED BY AFFIRMING HARD LABOR WITHOUT CONFINEMENT WHEN THE CONVENING AUTHORITY DID NOT APPROVE THAT PUNISHMENT. SEE ARTICLE 66(c), UCMJ.

 

The decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed as to findings and only so much of the sentence as provides for a bad-conduct discharge, confinement for 30 days, and a reduction to the grade of E-1.

 

ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW

 

No. 12-0501/AF.  U.S. v. Jessica E. MCFADDEN.  CCA 37438.  [See also APPEALS-SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS this date]

 

No. 12-0524/AR.  U.S. v. Bruce L. KELLY.  CCA 20090809.  Review granted on the following issues:

 

I.    WHETHER THE MILITARY JUDGE ABUSED HIS DISCRETION WHEN HE FAILED TO SUPPRESS EVIDENCE OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY DISCOVERED ON APPELLANT'S PERSONAL COMPUTER IN THE COURSE OF AN UNREASONABLE SEARCH CONDUCTED TO FIND CONTRABAND AFTER APPELLANT WAS WOUNDED IN IRAQ AND MEDICALLY EVACUATED TO THE UNITED STATES.

 

II.    WHETHER THE ARMY COURT ERRED IN CREATING A NEW EXCEPTION TO THE FOURTH AMENDMENT WHEN IT HELD THAT THE GOVERNMENT'S SEARCH OF APPELLANT'S PERSONAL COMPUTER WAS REASONABLE BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT WAS NOT "CERTAIN" OR "ABSOLUTELY CLEAR" THAT IT WOULD BE RETURNED TO THE WOUNDED-WARRIOR APPELLANT.

 

Briefs will be filed under Rule 25.

 

No. 12-0604/NA.  U.S. v. Richard R. MOTT.  CCA 200900115.  Review granted on the following issues:

 

I.    A LACK OF MENTAL RESPONSIBILITY DEFENSE EXISTS WHEN A MENTALLY DISEASED ACCUSED CANNOT APPRECIATE THE WRONGFULNESS OF HIS CONDUCT.  HERE, EXPERTS TESTIFIED THAT APPELLANT'S PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIA AND SEVERE DELUSIONS CREATED HIS SUBJECTIVE BELIEF THAT STABBING THE VICTIM WAS JUSTIFIED.  BUT THE MILITARY JUDGE AND NMCCA ADOPTED AN OBJECTIVE STANDARD FOR "WRONGFULNESS." WHAT IS THE APPROPRIATE STANDARD IN DETERMINING WHETHER AN ACCUSED CAN APPRECIATE THE WRONGFULNESS OF HIS CONDUCT?

 

II.    UNDER THE FIFTH AMENDMENT, AN ACCUSED'S STATEMENT TO INVESTIGATORS IS ADMISSIBLE ONLY IF IT WAS OBTAINED WITH A VOLUNTARY, KNOWING, AND INTELLIGENT WAIVER WHERE THE ACCUSED UNDERSTANDS HIS RIGHTS AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF WAIVING THEM.  HERE, EXPERT WITNESSES TESTIFIED THAT APPELLANT COULD NOT UNDERSTAND HIS RIGHTS OR THE CONSEQUENCES OF WAIVING THEM BECAUSE OF HIS SEVERE MENTAL DISEASE.  DID THE MILITARY JUDGE ERR BY ADMITTING THE STATEMENT?

 

Briefs will be filed under Rule 25.

 

No. 12-0616/AR.  U.S. v. Timothy E. BENNITT.  CCA 20100172.  Review granted on the following issue:

 

WHETHER APPELLANT'S CONVICTION FOR INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER UNDER ARTICLE 119(b)(2), UCMJ, IS LEGALLY INSUFFICIENT BECAUSE (1) IN ACCORDANCE WITH UNITED STATES v. SARGENT, 18 M.J. 331 (C.M.A. 1982), APPELLANT'S DISTRIBUTION OF OXYMORPHONE WAS NOT A CRIME DIRECTLY AFFECTING THE PERSON UNDER ARTICLE 119(b)(2), AND (2) EVEN IF SO, CONGRESS DID NOT INTEND FOR ARTICLE 119(b)(2) TO COVER APPELLANT'S MISCONDUCT.

 

Briefs will be filed under Rule 25.
