SUMMARY:
The
Discussion to Part IV of the Manual for
Courts-Martial, United States, is
amended as follows:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:28 Dec 07, 2016
Jkt 241001
(a) The Discussion immediately after
paragraph 60.c.(6)(a) is amended to read
as follows:
‘‘Clauses 1 and 2 are theories of
liability that must be expressly alleged
in a specification so that the accused
will be given notice as to which clause
or clauses to defend against. The words
‘‘to the prejudice of good order and
discipline in the armed forces’’
encompass both paragraph c.(2)(a),
prejudice to good order and discipline,
and paragraph c.(2)(b), breach of custom
of the Service. A generic sample
specification is provided below:
In that llll (personal jurisdiction
data), did (at/on board location), on or about
llll 20ll, (commit elements of Article
134 clause 1 or 2 offense), and that said
conduct (was to the prejudice of good order
and discipline in the armed forces) (and)
(was of a nature to bring discredit upon the
armed forces).
If clauses 1 and 2 are alleged together
in the terminal element, the word ‘‘and’’
should be used to separate them. Any
clause not proven beyond a reasonable
doubt should be excepted from the
specification at findings. See R.C.M.
918(a)(1). See also Appendix 23 of this
Manual, Art. 79. Although using the
conjunctive ‘‘and’’ to connect the two
theories of liability is recommended, a
specification connecting the two
theories with the disjunctive ‘‘or’’ is
sufficient to provide the accused
reasonable notice of the charge against
him. See Appendix 23 of this Manual,
Art. 134.
Lesser included offenses are defined
and explained under Article 79;
however, in 2010, the Court of Appeals
for the Armed Forces examined Article
79 and clarified the legal test for lesser
included offenses. See United States v.
Jones, 68 M.J. 465 (C.A.A.F. 2010).
Under Jones, an offense under Article 79
is ‘‘necessarily included’’ in the offense
charged only if the elements of the
lesser offense are a subset of the
elements of the greater offense alleged.
68 M.J. at 472; see also discussion
following paragraph 3b(1)(c) in this part
and the related analysis in Appendix 23
of this Manual. Practitioners should
carefully consider lesser included
offenses using the elements test in
conformity with Jones. See paragraph
3b(4) in Appendix 23 of this Manual. If
it is uncertain whether an Article 134
offense is included within a charged
offense, the government may plead in
the alternative or, with the consent of
the accused, the government may
amend the charge sheet. Jones, 68 M.J.
at 472–73 (referring to R.C.M. 603(d) for
amending a charge sheet).’’
