CAAF issues opinion in Jones
United States v. Jones.
A convoluted case about the accused’s ability to review CP images in preparation for his providence inquiry.
We conclude that the denial of the requests to review evidence under the circumstances of this case did not violate the Sixth Amendment because Appellant did not seek to review the evidence to prepare a defense, and that Appellant’s unconditional guilty plea waived appellate review of the denial of his discovery requests under Rule for Courts-Martial (R.C.M.) 701. And we agree with the NMCCA that, considering the stipulation of fact in conjunction with Appellant’s providence inquiry, there was no substantial basis in law or fact for the military judge to reject Appellant’s guilty plea in this case. Jones, 2009 CCA LEXIS 356, at *21, 2009 WL 3435920, at *7.
