TWIMJ addition

Today NMCCA's web site added a notice of an oral argument on Wednesday. At 1400, the court will hear oral argument in United States v. Craig, No. NMCCA 200800716. The issues are:

I. WHETHER THE APPELLANT’S GUILTY PLEA TO DISTRIBUTION OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY WAS IMPROVIDENT, AS THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE THAT APPELLANT DELIVERED ANY UNLAWFUL IMAGES TO ANYONE?

II. WHETHER THE MILITARY JUDGE COMMITTED PLAIN ERROR WHEN HE DID NOT DECLARE SUA SPONTE THAT THE OFFENSES OF RECEIVING AND POSSESSING CHILD PORNOGRAPHY WERE MULTIPLICIOUS?
NMCCA directed counsel to be prepared to discuss how Issue I is affected by United States v. Kuemmerle, 67 M.J. 141 (C.A.A.F. 2009).

I look forward to seeing whether the argument is posted online and, if so, listening to it while enjoying a refreshing beverage.

"listening to it while enjoying a refreshing beverage."

Yuengling or Coca-Cola? Rolling Rock? Or perhaps Knockando? (Alas, very hard to come by these days)
