United States v. Miller

Opinion of the Court

WISS, Judge:

After a military judge sitting as a special court-martial had convicted Miller, pursuant to his pleas, of two periods (over 5 years and over 7 years) of unauthorized absence, see Art. 86, Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 USC § 886, he sentenced Miller to a bad-conduct discharge, confinement for 5 months, forfeiture of $500.00 per month for 5 months, and reduction to the lowest enlisted grade. Under the terms of a pretrial agreement, the convening authority suspended confinement exceeding 45 days; in all other respects, however, he approved the trial results.
