APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 14-0413/AF.  U.S. v. Jason A. PATE.  CCA 38250.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals, we conclude that the assault consummated by battery offense (Specification 2 of Charge I) involving rib fractures is a lesser included offense of the aggravated assault offense in which grievous bodily harm was intentionally inflicted (Specification 2 of Charge II).  See United States v. Jones, 68 M.J. 465, 468 (C.A.A.F. 2010).  Compare Manual for Courts-Martial, United States pt. IV, para. ¶ 54.b.(2) (2008 ed.) (MCM) with MCM pt. IV, para. 54.b.(4)(b)(i), (iii).  We also conclude that the assault consummated by battery offense involving liver damage (Specification 4 of Charge I) is a lesser included offense of the aggravated assault by other means offense (Specification 1 of Charge II).  See Jones, 68 M.J. at 468.  Compare MCM pt. IV, para. 54.b.(2) with MCM pt. IV, para. 54.b.(4)(a)(i), (iii).  We finally conclude that the aggravated assault by other means offense involving head injuries (Specification 4 of Charge II) is a lesser included offense of the maiming offense (Specification 1 of Charge I).  See Jones, 68 M.J. at 468; see also United States v. McLean, 70 M.J. 573, 576 (A.F. Ct. Crim. App. 2011).  These specifications therefore are impermissibly multiplicious.  See United States v. Palagar, 56 M.J. 294, 296 (C.A.A.F. 2002); see also Brown v. Ohio, 432 U.S. 161, 165-69 (1977).  Thus, we dismiss the assault consummated by battery offenses and the aggravated assault by other means offense involving head injuries.  See United States v. Leak, 61 M.J. 234, 249 (C.A.A.F. 2005).  However, where the military judge found these offenses multiplicious for sentencing and because Appellant does not ask us to remand for a sentence reassessment, we will not reverse as to the sentence.  Accordingly, it is ordered that the petition is granted on the following issue: [See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION for review.]

 

WHETHER THE AIR FORCE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS ERRED BY AFFIRMING THE FINDINGS WHEN THREE CONVICTIONS WERE LESSER INCLUDED OFFENSES OF THREE OTHER CONVICTIONS.

 

The decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals is reversed as to Specifications 2 and 4 of Charge I and Specification 4 of Charge II, but is affirmed in all other respects.  The findings of guilty as to Specifications 2 and 4 of Charge I and Specification 4 of Charge II are set aside, and these specifications are dismissed.

APPEALS - SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

 

No. 14-0236/AF.  U.S. v. Horace C. WICKWARE.  CCA 38074.  On consideration of the petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals, the Court notes that the involuntary manslaughter and negligent homicide offenses were charged in the alternative to the unpremeditated murder offense.  As Appellant was convicted of the unpremeditated murder offense, his convictions for involuntary manslaughter and negligent homicide must be dismissed on appeal.  In light of the military judge's instruction to the court members that the three offenses were multiplicious for sentencing, however, Appellant was not prejudiced as to the sentence.  Accordingly, it is ordered that the petition is granted on the following specified issue:  [See also ORDERS GRANTING PETITION FOR REVIEW this date.]

 

WHETHER APPELLANT'S CONVICTIONS FOR INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER AND NEGLIGENT HOMICIDE, WHICH WERE CHARGED IN THE ALTERNATIVE TO THE OFFENSE OF UNPREMEDITATED MURDER, SHOULD BE DISMISSED AS APPELLANT WAS CONVICTED OF UNPREMEDITATED MURDER.

 

The decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals is reversed as to Charge II and its Specification and Specification 3 of Charge IV, but is affirmed in all other respects.  The findings of guilty as to Charge II and its Specification and Specification 3 of Charge IV are set aside, and those offenses are dismissed.
