Quick update

Sorry, I've been derelict in my blogging duties. Let me give a couple of quick updates, which I'll expand upon over the weekend.

Most importantly, CAAF released an opinion yesterday in United States v. Von Bergen, __ M.J. ___, No. 03-0629/AF (C.A.A.F. Apr. 2, 2009). In a highly fact-specific decision, CAAF held it was error not to give the accused a new 32 after the original charges went belly up, but held that the error was harmless.

CAAF's Tuesday daily journal included an interesting summary reversal of a Navy-Marine Corps Court decision. United States v. Thomas, __ M.J. ___, No. 08-0738/NA (C.A.A.F. March 31, 2009).
