Contrary to appellant’s pleas, a general court-martial composed of officer and enlisted members convicted appellant of conspiracy to commit murder and premeditated murder, in violation of Articles 81 and 118, Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 USC §§ 881 and 918, respectively. The members sentenced Westmoreland to a dishonorable discharge, confinement for life, total forfeitures, and reduction to the lowest enlisted grade.
