New CAAF opinion

United States v. Adcock, __ M.J. ___, No. 06-0714 (C.A.A.F. May 3, 2007). Judge Erdmann for the majority; Judges Stucky and Ryan in dissent. The majority opinion explains:

We granted review in this case to determine whether there is a remedy for the conditions of Adcock’s pretrial confinement in a civilian jail, which violated several provisions of Dep’t of the Air Force, Instr. 31-205, The Air Force Corrections System (Apr. 7, 2004) [hereinafter AFI 31-205]. We find that the military judge abused his discretion in failing to award additional confinement credit under R.C.M. 305(k) and therefore direct additional confinement credit.
