19 C.M.A. 281; 19 USCMA 281; 41 C.M.R. 281; 1970 CMA LEXIS 941; 1970 WL 7323
United States v. Sandoval

Opinion of the Court

Opinion of the Court

DARDEN, Judge:

This is another in the series of eases in which written advice on voting instructions was substituted for oral instructions. Because it is indistinguishable from its predecessors, we here, as in those cases, reverse the decision of the Court of Military Review. United States v Pryor, 19 USCMA 279, 41 CMR 279 (1970).

The record of trial is returned to the Judge Advocate General of the Army. A rehearing on the sentence may be ordered.

Judge Ferguson concurs.

Dissenting Opinion

Quinn, Chief Judge

(dissenting):

For the reasons set out in my dissent in United States v Pryor, 19 USCMA 279, 41 CMR 279 (1970), I would affirm the decision of the Court of Military Review.
