Order Granting Petition for Review

 

No. 21-0025/AF. U.S. v. Matthew C. Harrington. CCA 2020-02. On consideration of Appellant's petition for grant of review of the decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals on appeal by the United States under Article 62, Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 862 (2012), it is ordered that said petition is granted on the following issue:

 

APPELLANT'S CONVICTION WAS SET ASIDE DUE TO THE ORIGINAL TRIAL JUDGE'S FAILURE TO ALLOW THE DEFENSE TO INTRODUCE EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE ABOUT THE COMPLAINING WITNESS'S BEHAVIOR RIGHT BEFORE THE ALLEGED SEXUAL ASSAULT. THE EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AFTER A GOVERNMENT DELAY IN BRINGING THE CASE TO A REHEARING. DID THE AIR FORCE COURT ERR BY OVERRULING THE MILITARY JUDGE'S DECISION TO DISMISS THE CHARGE FOR A SPEEDY TRIAL VIOLATION?

 

Pursuant to C.A.A.F. R. 19(a)(7)(A), no further pleadings will be filed.
