Opinion of the Court

Quinn, Chief Judge:

On Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 1959, military policeman R. J. Smith was killed by a bullet from his own gun. Investigation led to a charge of premeditated murder against the accused. After a three-day trial before a general court-martial in Germany, the accused was convicted of unpremeditated murder and sentenced to a dishonorable discharge, confinement at hard labor for twenty years, and accessory penalties. Intermediate appellate authorities affirmed the conviction. Thereafter, the accused appealed to this Court alleging ten grounds of error.
