CCAs on the road

The Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals will hear oral argument tomorrow at the University of Louisville's Louis D. Brandeis School of Law. Here's a link to an announcement about the event.

On 13 February, the Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals will hold an en banc rehearing in United States v. Weston at 1300 at the Georgetown University Law Center. We previously discussed Weston, which is a competing consent search and seizure case, here. The panel decision was a 3-0 win for Staff Sergeant Weston. Here's a link to the panel's decision. United States v. Weston, 65 M.J. 774 (N-M. Ct. Crim. App. 2007)

Why did this case go from a panel decision to an en banc re-hearing?

(To find out, I guess I could review the hours of videotape from that curiously unused razor in the NMCCA chambers)

It could be that one side asked for reconsideration...
