RODGER A. DREW, JR. Clerk of Court

1 Articles 59 & 66, Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. §§ 859, 866. We note, however, a scrivener’s error in the Statement of Trial Results. The “Exceptions and Substitutions” block for Specification 1 of Charge III omits “and substituting the word” before “hand.” The language used for this Specification in the Entry of Judgment is correct.
