29B.55 - RECORD OF TRIAL.
29B.55 RECORD OF TRIAL.
1. Each general court-martial shall keep a separate record of the
proceedings in each case brought before it, and the record shall be
authenticated by the signature of the military judge. If the record
cannot be authenticated by the military judge by reason of death,
disability, or absence of the military judge, it shall be
authenticated by the signature of the trial counsel or by the
signature of a member if the trial counsel is unable to authenticate
it by reason of death, disability, or absence. In a court-martial
consisting of only a military judge the record shall be authenticated
by the court reporter under the same conditions which would impose
such a duty on a member under this subsection. If the proceedings
have resulted in an acquittal of all charges and specifications or,
if not affecting a general officer, in a sentence not including
discharge, dismissal, or confinement and not in excess of that which
may otherwise be adjudged by a special court-martial, the record
shall contain matters prescribed by rules of the adjutant general.
2. Each special and summary court-martial shall keep a separate
record of the proceedings in each case, and the record shall contain
the matter and shall be authenticated in the manner required by rules
of the adjutant general.
3. A copy of the record of the proceedings of each general and
special court-martial shall be given to the accused as soon as the
record is authenticated. If a verbatim record of trial by general
court-martial is not required, but is made, the accused may buy the
record as prescribed in rules of the adjutant general. Section History: Early Form
