United States v. Baker

Opinion of the Court

Darden, Judge:

The appellant in this case was defended by appointed counsel qualified in accordance with Article 27(b), Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 USC § 827. In response to questions by the military judge, Baker acknowledged that he was aware of his right to be represented by a civilian lawyer or a military lawyer of his own selection. He was satisfied with appointed counsel, however. This inquiry meets the demands of Article 38(b), Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 USC § 838. United States v Turner, 20 USCMA 167, 43 CMR 7 (1970).
