United States v. Valenzuela
7 C.M.A. 45 | United States Court of Military Appeals | 1956
Opinion of the Court
The issues raised in this case are the same as those in United States v Turner, 7 USCMA 38, 21 CMR 134, decided this date. For the reasons stated in our opinion in that case, the Petition for New Trial is denied. The decision of the board of review and the action of the convening authority are set aside.
The record of trial is returned to The Judge Advocate General for reference to a general court-martial authority other than that which acted upon the initial review. In accordance with Article 61, Uniform Code of Military Justice, 50 USC § 648, a new review will be made by a Staff Judge Advocate who has had no previous connection with the case and a new action will be taken by such general court-martial authority.
