PART OF the law went into effect when the president signed the act in late Octolver.

Written translations of machine, electronic, and coded official records are admissible. Without this rule, it would be necessary to call an expert witness in every case involving such records. This is considered important as more civilian and military records are converted to automatic data processing systems. IT ALSO incorporates the requirement that, prior to interrogation, an accused or suspect advised that he has the right to consult with counsel. These reforms together with a handful of lesser changes, makes the new law the most important itep in military justice since the passage of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. ), Senator Sam J.

AMONC THE major changes in the Manual for Courts Martial required or permitted by the law are the following: The accused will be afforded the opportunity to be defended by a legally qualified counsel before empowerany special ed to give him a bad conduct discharge and that in addition, a military judge must preside over the trial unless military conditions make it impossible. In less serious courts-martia- l, legally qualified counsel must lie made available to represent the accused, if reasonably possible. Permits defendants to waive trial by jury of officers and Ire tried by a military judge sitting alone, (if the request is approved by the military judge), much as a civilian can wave a jury trial and le tried by the court alone. PRETRIAL AND post-trisessions of courts-martimay be held by the military judge without the presence of the courts memlters for the purpose of deciding procedural questions. Convening authorities are given discretionary authority to defer the service of sentence to confinement pending appellate review. (This parallels the civilian practice of an individual being freed on trail pending appeal of a sentence). An accused may refuse to trial by summary court martial even if he has refused punishment under Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. VALUES UPON which the maximum punishment in larceny offenses are 1 rased, have been increased to $50 and $100 from the former $20 and $50. Except for the offense of arson, a dishonorable discharge and confinement for more than year may Ire adjudged only in cases involving more than $100.

He will participate in Operation Transition, receiving training in the field of Data Processing. The Military Justice Act of 1968, first substantial revision of the Uniform Code of Military Justice since its 1950 enactment, has been signed into law by President Johnson. THIS LAW is designed to insure that military personnel are afforded the same protection as civilian persons who are accused of federal offenses. Until now if military justice was mentioned to a seasoned military officer, he probably would think discipline." To a large degree, he would have been right. However with the signing of the act, that view will have to Ire replaced. The old idea that servicemen accused of crimes should merely Ire disciplined and not granted justice under the Bill of Rights has been stricken a heavy blow. WE IN America have always prided ourselves on giving our men and our women in uniform excellent medical service, superb training, the best equipment money can buy, President Johnson said in signing the law.
