Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A. The arraignment normally occurs during an Article 39(a)session. [See R.C.M. 904.] In the arraignment, the trial counsel informs the accused of the specific charges and the military judge asks the accused how he desires to plead. The accused may waive reading of the charges and specifications. The plea itself is not part of the arraignment. The accused may be validly arraigned only on charges and amendments thereto which have been properly referred to the arraigning court-martial for trial. After arraignment, no additional charges may be referred to the same trial without the consent of the accused.
AUTHORITY NOTE: Promulgated in accordance with R.S. 29:11(F).
