CAAF releases two opinions

I'm low on both time and energy tonight, so I'll just give you the cites to CAAF's two newest opinions. I'll try to provide synopses over the weekend.

United States v. Forney, __ M.J. ___, No. 05-0647/NA (C.A.A.F. March 26, 2009) (plurality opinion by Judge Stucky, joined by Judge Baker, affirming Article 133 conviction for wrongfully possessing child pornography and holding that the accused officer could be convicted for possessing even virtual images of child pornography on government computers with Chief Judge Effron concurring in the result and Judge Erdmann, joined by Judge Ryan, dissenting).

United States v. Clayton, __ M.J. ___, No. 08-0417/AR (C.A.A.F. March 26, 2009) (Judge Baker writing for the majority to reverse a finding of guilty and the sentence on Crawford v. Washington grounds with Judge Stucky separately concurring in part and in the result).

Today's daily journal update included a bumper crop of what I guess will be called "Rodriguez orders" directing appellants to demonstrate that their petitions shouldn't be dismissed as untimely filed. See United States v. Rodriguez, 67 M.J. 110 (C.A.A.F. 2009).
