Pentagon redefining anti-sodomy law - (United Press International) The JSC is also recommending that the manual for courts-martial include a new section that would ban all sexual acts between consensual adults that harm good order and discipline. In an April 7 letter to the Senate Armed Services Committee, the Pentagon's Principal Deputy General Counsel Daniel J.

The Supreme Court struck down a Texas anti-sodomy law in 2003 in Lawrence v. www.washtimes.com /upi-breaking/20050421-045102-7612r.htm   (216 words)

CNN.com - Should the law punish adultery? - Aug 18, 2005 To say that a particular provision of the Uniform Code of Military Justice or the Manual for Courts-Martial is senseless, however, is not to say that it cannot be validly enforced. Courts have a long tradition of deferring to the military itself, or to the political branches of government in evaluating military policies. If a state or the federal government were to impose criminal penalties on civilians for such a vaguely defined offense, the courts would strike it down as inconsistent with due process. www.cnn.com /2005/LAW/08/18/dorf.adultery/index.html   (1482 words)

Uniform Code of Military Justice - UCMJ The provisions of this chapter conferring jurisdiction upon courts- martial do not deprive military commissions, provost courts, or other military tribunals of concurrent jurisdiction with respect to offenders or offenses that by statute or by the law of war may be tried by military commissions, provost courts, or other military tribunals. Process issued in court- martial cases to compel witnesses to appear and testify and to compel the production of other evidence shall be similar to that which courts of the Unites States having criminal jurisdiction may lawfully issue and shall run to any part of the United States, or the Territories, Commonwealths, and possessions. The military judge of such a court- martial shall determine all questions of law and fact arising during the proceedings, and, if the accused is convicted, adjudge an appropriate sentence. www.au.af.mil /au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm   (10061 words)

MILITARY JUSTICE FACT SHEETS In a trial by court members, the members are not informed of the existence of a pretrial agreement, nor is any statement made by an accused in connection with the agreement disclosed to the judge or the court-martial members. Unlike civilian courts, where an individual will receive a sentence on each count for which he is convicted (for example, if convicted of two counts of burglary, a civilian judge might sentence an individual to three years in prison for each count to run consecutively -- or a total of six years in prison). In considering the record, the Court may weigh the evidence, judge the credibility of witnesses, and determine disputed questions of fact, recognizing that the trial court saw and heard the witnesses. sja.hqmc.usmc.mil /JAM/MJFACTSHTS.htm   (17638 words)
