director of administrative services or the director's designee | 171 |
shall prepare an eligible list of the persons whose general | 172 |
average standing upon examinations for the class or position is | 173 |
not less than the minimum fixed by the rules of the director, and | 174 |
who are otherwise eligible. Those persons shall take rank upon the | 175 |
eligible list as candidates in the order of their relative | 176 |
excellence as determined by the examination without reference to | 177 |
priority of the time of examination. If two or more applicants | 178 |
receive the same mark in an open competitive examination, priority | 179 |

director's designee shall determine the order in which their names | 181 |
shall be placed on the eligible list, except that applicants | 182 |
eligible for the veteran's or the reserve component member's | 183 |
preference under section 124.23 of the Revised Code shall receive | 184 |
priority in rank on the eligible list over nonveterans and | 185 |
nonmembers of the reserve component on the list with a rating | 186 |
equal to that of the veteran or reserve component member. Ties | 187 |
among veterans or among reserve component members shall be decided | 188 |
by priority of filing the application. A tie between a veteran | 189 |
and a reserve component member shall be decided in favor of the | 190 |
veteran. | 191 |
| 192 |
position. An expired eligible list may be used to fill a position | 193 |
of the same classification within the same appointing authority | 194 |
for which the list was created. But, in no event shall an expired | 195 |
list be used more than one year past its expiration date. | 196 |

Sec. 3781.10. (A)(1) The board of building standards shall | 362 |
formulate and adopt rules governing the erection, construction, | 363 |
repair, alteration, and maintenance of all buildings or classes of | 364 |
buildings specified in section 3781.06 of the Revised Code, | 365 |
including land area incidental to those buildings, the | 366 |
construction of industrialized units, the installation of | 367 |
equipment, and the standards or requirements for materials used in | 368 |
connection with those buildings. The board shall incorporate those | 369 |
rules into separate residential and nonresidential building codes. | 370 |
The standards shall relate to the conservation of energy and the | 371 |
safety and sanitation of those buildings. | 372 |
(2) The rules governing nonresidential buildings are the | 373 |
lawful minimum requirements specified for those buildings and | 374 |
industrialized units, except that no rule other than as provided | 375 |
in division (C) of section 3781.108 of the Revised Code that | 376 |
specifies a higher requirement than is imposed by any section of | 377 |
the Revised Code is enforceable. The rules governing residential | 378 |
buildings are uniform requirements for residential buildings in | 379 |
any area with a building department certified to enforce the state | 380 |
residential building code. In no case shall any local code or | 381 |
regulation differ from the state residential building code unless | 382 |
that code or regulation addresses subject matter not addressed by | 383 |
the state residential building code or is adopted pursuant to | 384 |
section 3781.01 of the Revised Code. | 385 |
(3) The rules adopted pursuant to this section are complete, | 386 |
lawful alternatives to any requirements specified for buildings or | 387 |
industrialized units in any section of the Revised Code. Except as | 388 |

shall, on its own motion or on application made under sections | 390 |
3781.12 and 3781.13 of the Revised Code, formulate, propose, | 391 |
adopt, modify, amend, or repeal the rules to the extent necessary | 392 |

(B) The board shall report to the general assembly proposals | 395 |
for amendments to existing statutes relating to the purposes | 396 |
declared in section 3781.06 of the Revised Code that public health | 397 |
and safety and the development of the arts require and shall | 398 |
recommend any additional legislation to assist in carrying out | 399 |
fully, in statutory form, the purposes declared in that section. | 400 |
The board shall prepare and submit to the general assembly a | 401 |

petitions filed under sections 3781.13 and 3781.14 of the Revised | 403 |
Code. | 404 |

particular fixture, device, material, process of manufacture, | 408 |
manufactured unit or component, method of manufacture, system, or | 409 |
method of construction complies with performance standards adopted | 410 |
pursuant to section 3781.11 of the Revised Code. The board shall | 411 |
make its determination with regard to adaptability for safe and | 412 |
sanitary erection, use, or construction, to that described in any | 413 |
section of the Revised Code, wherever the use of a fixture, | 414 |
device, material, method of manufacture, system, or method of | 415 |
construction described in that section of the Revised Code is | 416 |
permitted by law. The board shall amend or annul any rule or issue | 417 |
an authorization for the use of a new material or manufactured | 418 |
unit on any like application. No department, officer, board, or | 419 |
commission of the state other than the board of building standards | 420 |
or the board of building appeals shall permit the use of any | 421 |
fixture, device, material, method of manufacture, newly designed | 422 |
product, system, or method of construction at variance with what | 423 |
is described in any rule the board of building standards adopts or | 424 |
issues or that is authorized by any section of the Revised Code. | 425 |
Nothing in this section shall be construed as requiring approval, | 426 |
by rule, of plans for an industrialized unit that conforms with | 427 |
the rules the board of building standards adopts pursuant to | 428 |
section 3781.11 of the Revised Code. | 429 |

workers' compensation, the director of commerce, any other | 434 |
department, officer, board, or commission of the state, and to | 435 |
legislative authorities and building departments of counties, | 436 |

does not enforce the state residential building code. The board | 457 |
shall specify, in rules adopted pursuant to Chapter 119. of the | 458 |
Revised Code, the requirements for certification for residential | 459 |

acceptable for purposes of this division. The rules shall specify | 472 |
requirements that are consistent with the provisions of section | 473 |
5903.12 of the Revised Code relating to active duty military | 474 |
service and are compatible, to the extent possible, with | 475 |

national model code organizations establish. | 477 |

mitigation, and the investigating officer shall examine reasonably | 1745 |
available witnesses requested by the accused. If the charges are | 1746 |
forwarded after the investigation, they shall be accompanied by a | 1747 |
statement of the substance of the testimony taken on both sides, | 1748 |
and a copy | 1749 |
accused. | 1750 |
(C) If an investigation of the subject matter of an offense | 1751 |
has been conducted before the accused is charged with the offense, | 1752 |
and if the accused was present at the investigation and afforded | 1753 |
the opportunities for representation, cross-examination, and | 1754 |
presentation prescribed in division (B) of this section, no | 1755 |
further investigation of that charge is necessary under this | 1756 |
section unless it is demanded by the accused after | 1757 |
is informed of the charge. A demand for further investigation | 1758 |
entitles the accused to recall witnesses for further | 1759 |
cross-examination and to offer any new evidence in | 1760 |
accused's own behalf. | 1761 |
(D) The requirements of this section are binding on all | 1762 |

the commanding officer shall report in writing to the | 1771 |
convening authority the reasons for delay. | 1772 |
Sec. 5924.34. (A) Before directing the trial of any charge | 1774 |
by general court-martial, the convening authority shall refer it | 1775 |
to the | 1776 |
officer for consideration and advice. The convening authority may | 1777 |
not refer a charge to a general court-martial for trial unless | 1778 |
the convening authority has found that the charge alleges an | 1779 |
offense under this code and is warranted by evidence indicated in | 1780 |
the report of the investigation. | 1781 |
(B) If the charges or specifications are not formally correct | 1782 |
or do not conform to the substance of the evidence contained in | 1783 |
the report of the investigating officer, formal corrections and | 1784 |
such changes in the charges and specifications as are needed to | 1785 |
make them conform to the evidence may be made. | 1786 |
Sec. 5924.35. The trial counsel to whom court-martial | 1787 |

or summary court-martial, | 1807 |
officer serving on the staff | 1808 |
other commanding officer may censure, reprimand, or admonish the | 1809 |
court or any member, military judge, or counsel | 1810 |
court, with respect to the findings or sentence adjudged by the | 1811 |
court | 1812 |
member's, military judge's, or counsel's functions in the conduct | 1813 |
of the proceeding. No person subject to this code may attempt to | 1814 |
coerce or, by any unauthorized means, influence the action of the | 1815 |
court-martial or any other military tribunal or any member | 1816 |
of the court-martial or military tribunal in reaching the findings | 1817 |

the member as a member of a court-martial; | 1838 |

member, as counsel, represented any accused before a | 1841 |
court-martial. | 1842 |
Sec. 5924.38. (A) The trial counsel of a general or special | 1843 |

not represented by counsel, that the accused has the right to be | 2066 |
represented by counsel at every stage of the proceedings; | 2067 |
(3) That the accused has the right to plead not guilty or to | 2068 |
persist in that plea if already made, that the accused has the | 2069 |
right to be tried by a court-martial, and that at trial the | 2070 |
accused has the right to confront and cross-examine witnesses | 2071 |
against the accused and the right against self-incrimination. | 2072 |

pleaded and that by pleading guilty the accused waives the rights | 2075 |
described in division (C)(3) of this section; | 2076 |

will question the accused about the offenses to which the accused | 2078 |
has pleaded guilty, and that, if the accused answers the questions | 2079 |
under oath, on the record, and in the presence of counsel, the | 2080 |
accused's answers may later be used against the accused in a | 2081 |
prosecution for perjury or false statement. | 2082 |
(D) The military judge shall not accept a plea of guilty | 2083 |
without first addressing the accused personally and determining | 2084 |
that the plea is voluntary and not the result of fear, threats, or | 2085 |
promises. The military judge shall also inquire as to whether the | 2086 |
accused's willingness to plead guilty results from prior | 2087 |
discussions between the convening authority, a representative of | 2088 |
the convening authority, or trial counsel and the accused or | 2089 |
defense counsel. | 2090 |
(E) The military judge shall not accept a plea of guilty | 2091 |

military judge that there is a factual basis for the plea. The | 2093 |
accused shall be questioned under oath about the offenses charged. | 2094 |
(F) When a negotiated plea of guilty or no contest to one or | 2095 |
more offenses charged or to one or more other or lesser offenses | 2096 |
is offered, the underlying agreement upon which the plea is based | 2097 |
shall be stated on the record in open court. | 2098 |
(G) If the court refuses to accept a plea of guilty or no | 2099 |
contest, the court shall enter a plea of not guilty on behalf of | 2100 |
the accused, and neither plea shall be admissible in evidence or | 2101 |
be the subject of comment by the trial counsel or court. | 2102 |
(H) The defense of not guilty by reason of insanity must be | 2103 |
pleaded at the time of arraignment, except that the court for good | 2104 |
cause shown shall permit a plea of not guilty by reason of | 2105 |
insanity to be entered at any time before trial. | 2106 |
(I) A motion to withdraw a plea of guilty or no contest may | 2107 |
be made only before sentence is imposed, but to correct manifest | 2108 |
injustice the court after sentence may set aside the judgment of | 2109 |
conviction and permit the accused to withdraw the plea. | 2110 |
(J) An accused who is found guilty after pleading guilty | 2111 |
waives any objection, whether or not previously raised, relating | 2112 |
to the factual issue of guilt of the offense to which the plea was | 2113 |
made. | 2114 |

hearing conducted under division (B) of this section. | 2222 |
(D) The trial counsel and defense counsel may submit evidence | 2223 |
on the issue of the accused's competence to stand trial. A written | 2224 |
report of the evaluation of the accused may be admitted into | 2225 |
evidence at the hearing by stipulation, but, if either the | 2226 |
government or defense objects to its admission, the report may be | 2227 |
admitted under seal of court in camera to the military judge. | 2228 |
(E) The court shall not find an accused incompetent to stand | 2229 |
trial solely because the accused is receiving or has received | 2230 |
treatment as a voluntary or involuntary mentally ill patient under | 2231 |
Chapter 5122. of the Revised Code or because the accused is | 2232 |
receiving or has received psychotropic drugs or other medication, | 2233 |
even if the accused might become incompetent to stand trial | 2234 |
without the drugs or medication. | 2235 |
(F) An accused is presumed to be competent to stand trial. | 2236 |
If, after a hearing, the court finds by a preponderance of the | 2237 |
evidence that, because of the accused's present mental condition, | 2238 |
the accused is incapable of understanding the nature and objective | 2239 |
of the proceedings against the accused or of assisting in the | 2240 |
accused's defense, the court shall find the accused incompetent to | 2241 |
stand trial and shall enter an order authorized by section | 2242 |
5924.503 of the Revised Code. | 2243 |
Sec. 5924.502. (A) If the issue of an accused's competence | 2244 |
to stand trial is raised or if an accused enters a plea of not | 2245 |
guilty by reason of insanity, the court may order one or more | 2246 |
evaluations of the accused's present mental condition or, in the | 2247 |
case of a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity, of the | 2248 |
accused's mental condition at the time of the offense charged. An | 2249 |
examiner shall conduct the evaluation. | 2250 |
(B) If the court orders more than one evaluation under | 2251 |
division (A) of this section, the trial counsel and the defense | 2252 |
counsel may recommend to the court an examiner whom each prefers | 2253 |
to perform one of the evaluations. If an accused enters a plea of | 2254 |
not guilty by reason of insanity and if the court does not | 2255 |
designate an examiner recommended by the defense counsel, the | 2256 |
court shall inform the accused that the accused may have | 2257 |
independent expert evaluation and that it will be obtained for the | 2258 |
accused at public expense. | 2259 |
(C) If the court orders an evaluation under division (A) of | 2260 |
this section, the accused shall be available at the times and | 2261 |
places established by the examiners who are to conduct the | 2262 |
evaluation. The court may order an accused who is not being held | 2263 |
in pretrial confinement to submit to an evaluation under this | 2264 |
section. If an accused who is not being held in pretrial | 2265 |
confinement refuses to submit to a complete evaluation, the court | 2266 |
may order the sheriff to take the accused into custody and deliver | 2267 |
the accused to a center, program, or facility operated or | 2268 |
certified by the department of mental health where the accused may | 2269 |
be held for evaluation for a reasonable period of time not to | 2270 |
exceed twenty days. | 2271 |
(D) An accused who is being held in pretrial confinement may | 2272 |
be evaluated at the accused's place of detention. Upon the request | 2273 |
of the examiner, the court may order the sheriff to transport the | 2274 |
accused to a program or facility operated or certified by the | 2275 |
department of mental health, where the accused may be held for | 2276 |
evaluation for a reasonable period of time not to exceed twenty | 2277 |
days, and to return the accused to the place of detention after | 2278 |
the evaluation. | 2279 |
(E) If a court orders the evaluation to determine an | 2280 |
accused's mental condition at the time of the offense charged, the | 2281 |
court shall inform the examiner of the offense with which the | 2282 |
accused is charged. | 2283 |
(F) In conducting an evaluation of an accused's mental | 2284 |
condition at the time of the offense charged, the examiner shall | 2285 |
consider all relevant evidence. If the offense charged involves | 2286 |
the use of force against another person, the relevant evidence to | 2287 |
be considered includes, but is not limited to, any evidence that | 2288 |
the accused suffered at the time of the commission of the offense | 2289 |
from the "battered woman syndrome." | 2290 |
(G) The examiner shall file a written report with the court | 2291 |
within thirty days after entry of a court order for evaluation, | 2292 |
and the court shall provide copies of the report to the trial | 2293 |
counsel and defense counsel. The report shall include all of the | 2294 |
following: | 2295 |
(1) The examiner's findings; | 2296 |
(2) The facts in reasonable detail on which the findings are | 2297 |
based; | 2298 |
(3) If the evaluation was ordered to determine the accused's | 2299 |
competence to stand trial, all of the following findings or | 2300 |
recommendations that are applicable: | 2301 |
(a) Whether the accused is capable of understanding the | 2302 |
nature and objective of the proceedings against the accused or of | 2303 |
assisting in the accused's defense; | 2304 |
(b) If the examiner's opinion is that the accused is | 2305 |
incapable of understanding the nature and objective of the | 2306 |
proceedings against the accused or of assisting in the accused's | 2307 |
defense, whether the accused presently is mentally ill; | 2308 |
(c) If the examiner's opinion is that the accused is | 2309 |
incapable of understanding the nature and objective of the | 2310 |
proceedings against the accused or of assisting in the accused's | 2311 |
defense, the examiner's opinion as to the likelihood of the | 2312 |
accused becoming capable of understanding the nature and objective | 2313 |
of the proceedings against the accused and of assisting in the | 2314 |
accused's defense within one year if the accused is provided with | 2315 |
a course of treatment; | 2316 |
(d) If the examiner's opinion is that the accused is | 2317 |
incapable of understanding the nature and objective of the | 2318 |
proceedings against the accused or of assisting in the accused's | 2319 |
defense and that the accused presently is mentally ill, the | 2320 |
examiner's recommendation as to the least restrictive placement or | 2321 |
commitment alternative, consistent with the accused's treatment | 2322 |
needs for restoration to competency and with the safety of the | 2323 |
community; | 2324 |
(e) If the accused is charged before a special or summary | 2325 |
court-martial with an offense that is not a violation of section | 2326 |
5924.120, 5924.127, or 5924.128 of the Revised Code and the | 2327 |
examiner's opinion is that the accused is incapable of | 2328 |
understanding the nature and objective of the proceedings against | 2329 |
the accused or of assisting in the accused's defense and that the | 2330 |
accused is presently mentally ill, the examiner's recommendation | 2331 |
as to whether the accused is amenable to engagement in mental | 2332 |
health treatment. | 2333 |
(4) If the evaluation was ordered to determine the accused's | 2334 |
mental condition at the time of the offense charged, the | 2335 |
examiner's findings as to whether the accused at the time of the | 2336 |
offense charged did not know, as a result of a severe mental | 2337 |
disease or defect, the wrongfulness of the accused's acts charged. | 2338 |
(H) An examiner appointed under divisions (A) and (B) of this | 2339 |
section to evaluate an accused to determine the accused's | 2340 |
competence to stand trial also may be appointed to evaluate an | 2341 |
accused who has entered a plea of not guilty by reason of | 2342 |
insanity, but an examiner of that nature shall prepare separate | 2343 |
reports on the issue of competence to stand trial and the defense | 2344 |
of not guilty by reason of insanity. | 2345 |
(I) No statement that an accused makes in an evaluation or | 2346 |
hearing under divisions (A) to (H) of this section relating to the | 2347 |
accused's competence to stand trial or to the accused's mental | 2348 |
condition at the time of the offense charged may be used against | 2349 |
the accused on the issue of guilt in any criminal action or | 2350 |
proceeding, but, in a criminal action or proceeding, the trial | 2351 |
counsel or defense counsel may call as a witness any person who | 2352 |
evaluated the accused or prepared a report pursuant to a referral | 2353 |
under this section. Neither the appointment nor the testimony of | 2354 |
an examiner appointed under this section precludes the trial | 2355 |
counsel or defense counsel from calling other witnesses or | 2356 |
presenting other evidence on competency or insanity issues. | 2357 |
(J) Persons appointed as examiners under divisions (A) and | 2358 |
(B) of this section or under division (H) of this section shall be | 2359 |
paid a reasonable amount for their services and expenses, as | 2360 |
certified by the court. | 2361 |
Sec. 5924.503. (A) If the issue of an accused's competence | 2362 |
to stand trial is raised and if the court, upon conducting the | 2363 |
hearing provided for in section 5924.502 of the Revised Code, | 2364 |
finds that the accused is competent to stand trial, the accused | 2365 |
shall be proceeded against as provided by law. If the court finds | 2366 |
the accused competent to stand trial and the accused is receiving | 2367 |
psychotropic drugs or other medication, the court may authorize | 2368 |
the continued administration of the drugs or medication or other | 2369 |
appropriate treatment in order to maintain the accused's | 2370 |
competence to stand trial unless the accused's attending physician | 2371 |
advises the court against continuation of the drugs, other | 2372 |
medication, or treatment. | 2373 |
(B)(1)(a) If, after taking into consideration all relevant | 2374 |
reports, information, and other evidence, the court finds that the | 2375 |
accused is incompetent to stand trial and that there is a | 2376 |
substantial probability that the accused will become competent to | 2377 |
stand trial within one year if the accused is provided with a | 2378 |
course of treatment, the court shall order the accused to undergo | 2379 |
treatment. If the accused is being tried by a general | 2380 |
court-martial and if, after taking into consideration all relevant | 2381 |
reports, information, and other evidence, the court finds that the | 2382 |
accused is incompetent to stand trial, but the court is unable at | 2383 |
that time to determine whether there is a substantial probability | 2384 |
that the accused will become competent to stand trial within one | 2385 |
year if the accused is provided with a course of treatment, the | 2386 |
court shall order continuing evaluation and treatment of the | 2387 |
accused for a period not to exceed four months to determine | 2388 |
whether there is a substantial probability that the accused will | 2389 |
become competent to stand trial within one year if the accused is | 2390 |
provided with a course of treatment. | 2391 |
(b) The court order for the accused to undergo treatment or | 2392 |
continuing evaluation and treatment under division (B)(1)(a) of | 2393 |
this section shall specify that the accused, if determined to | 2394 |
require mental health treatment or continuing evaluation and | 2395 |
treatment, shall be committed to the department of mental health | 2396 |
for treatment or continuing evaluation and treatment at a | 2397 |
hospital, facility, or agency determined to be clinically | 2398 |
appropriate by the department of mental health. The order may | 2399 |
restrict the accused's freedom of movement as the court considers | 2400 |
necessary. The trial counsel in the accused's case shall send to | 2401 |
the chief clinical officer of the hospital, facility, or agency | 2402 |
where the accused is placed by the department of mental health or | 2403 |
to the managing officer of the institution, the director of the | 2404 |
facility, or the person to which the accused is committed copies | 2405 |
of relevant investigative reports and other background information | 2406 |
that pertains to the accused and is available to the trial counsel | 2407 |
unless the trial counsel determines that the release of any of the | 2408 |
information in the investigative reports or any of the other | 2409 |
background information to unauthorized persons would interfere | 2410 |
with the effective prosecution of any person or would create a | 2411 |
substantial risk of harm to any person. | 2412 |
In committing the accused to the department of mental health, | 2413 |
the court shall consider the extent to which the person is a | 2414 |
danger to the person and to others, the need for security, and the | 2415 |
type of crime involved and, if the court finds that restrictions | 2416 |
on the accused's freedom of movement are necessary, shall specify | 2417 |
the least restrictive limitations on the person's freedom of | 2418 |
movement determined to be necessary to protect public safety. In | 2419 |
weighing these factors, the court shall give preference to | 2420 |
protecting public safety. | 2421 |
(c) If the accused is found incompetent to stand trial, if | 2422 |
the chief clinical officer of the hospital, facility, or agency | 2423 |
where the accused is placed, or the managing officer of the | 2424 |
institution, the director of the facility, or the person to which | 2425 |
the accused is committed for treatment or continuing evaluation | 2426 |
and treatment under division (B)(1)(b) of this section determines | 2427 |
that medication is necessary to restore the accused's competency | 2428 |
to stand trial, and if the accused lacks the capacity to give | 2429 |
informed consent or refuses medication, the chief clinical officer | 2430 |
of the hospital, facility, or agency where the accused is placed | 2431 |
or the managing officer of the institution, the director of the | 2432 |
facility, or the person to which the accused is committed for | 2433 |
treatment or continuing evaluation and treatment may petition the | 2434 |
court for authorization for the involuntary administration of | 2435 |
medication. The court shall hold a hearing on the petition within | 2436 |
five days of the filing of the petition. Following the hearing, | 2437 |
the court may authorize the involuntary administration of | 2438 |
medication or may dismiss the petition. | 2439 |
(d) If the accused is charged before a special or summary | 2440 |
court-martial with an offense that is not a violation of section | 2441 |
5924.120, 5924.127, or 5924.128 of the Revised Code, the trial | 2442 |
counsel may hold the charges in abeyance while the accused engages | 2443 |
in mental health treatment. | 2444 |
(2) If the court finds that the accused is incompetent to | 2445 |
stand trial and that, even if the accused is provided with a | 2446 |
course of treatment, there is not a substantial probability that | 2447 |
the accused will become competent to stand trial within one year, | 2448 |
the court shall order the discharge of the accused, unless upon | 2449 |
motion of the trial counsel or on its own motion, the court either | 2450 |
seeks to retain jurisdiction over the accused pursuant to division | 2451 |
(A)(2) of section 5924.504 of the Revised Code or files an | 2452 |
affidavit in the probate court for the civil commitment of the | 2453 |
accused pursuant to Chapter 5122. of the Revised Code alleging | 2454 |
that the accused is a mentally ill person subject to | 2455 |
hospitalization by court order. If an affidavit is filed in the | 2456 |
probate court, the trial court shall send to the probate court | 2457 |
copies of all written reports of the accused's mental condition | 2458 |
that were prepared pursuant to section 5924.502 of the Revised | 2459 |
Code. | 2460 |
The trial court may issue the temporary order of detention | 2461 |
that a probate court may issue under section 5122.11 of the | 2462 |
Revised Code, to remain in effect until the probable cause or | 2463 |
initial hearing in the probate court. Further proceedings in the | 2464 |
probate court are civil proceedings governed by Chapter 5122. of | 2465 |
the Revised Code. | 2466 |
(C) No accused shall be required to undergo treatment, | 2467 |
including any continuing evaluation and treatment, under division | 2468 |
(B)(1) of this section for longer than whichever of the following | 2469 |
periods is applicable: | 2470 |
(1) One year, if the accused is being tried by a general | 2471 |
court-martial; | 2472 |
(2) Six months, if the accused is being tried before a | 2473 |
special court-martial; | 2474 |
(3) Sixty days, if the accused is being tried before a | 2475 |
summary court-martial. | 2476 |
(D) Any accused who is committed pursuant to this section | 2477 |
shall not voluntarily admit the accused or be voluntarily admitted | 2478 |
to a hospital or institution pursuant to section 5122.02 or | 2479 |
5122.15 of the Revised Code. | 2480 |
(E) Except as otherwise provided in this division, an accused | 2481 |
who is charged with an offense and is committed by the court under | 2482 |
this section to the department of mental health with restrictions | 2483 |
on the accused's freedom of movement shall not be granted | 2484 |
unsupervised on-grounds movement, supervised off-grounds movement, | 2485 |
or nonsecured status except in accordance with the court order. | 2486 |
The court may grant an accused supervised off-grounds movement to | 2487 |
obtain medical treatment or specialized habilitation treatment | 2488 |
services if the person who supervises the treatment or the | 2489 |
continuing evaluation and treatment of the accused ordered under | 2490 |
division (B)(1)(a) of this section informs the court that the | 2491 |
treatment or continuing evaluation and treatment cannot be | 2492 |
provided at the hospital or facility where the accused is placed | 2493 |
by the department of mental health. The chief clinical officer of | 2494 |
the hospital or facility where the accused is placed by the | 2495 |
department of mental health or the managing officer of the | 2496 |
institution or director of the facility to which the accused is | 2497 |
committed or a designee of any of those persons may grant an | 2498 |
accused movement to a medical facility for an emergency medical | 2499 |
situation with appropriate supervision to ensure the safety of the | 2500 |
accused, staff, and community during that emergency medical | 2501 |
situation. The chief clinical officer of the hospital or facility | 2502 |
where the accused is placed by the department of mental health or | 2503 |
the managing officer of the institution or director of the | 2504 |
facility to which the accused is committed shall notify the court | 2505 |
within twenty-four hours of the accused's movement to the medical | 2506 |
facility for an emergency medical situation under this division. | 2507 |
(F) The person who supervises the treatment or continuing | 2508 |
evaluation and treatment of an accused ordered to undergo | 2509 |
treatment or continuing evaluation and treatment under division | 2510 |
(B)(1)(a) of this section shall file a written report with the | 2511 |
court at the following times: | 2512 |
(1) Whenever the person believes the accused is capable of | 2513 |
understanding the nature and objective of the proceedings against | 2514 |
the accused and of assisting in the accused's defense; | 2515 |
(2) Fourteen days before expiration of the maximum time for | 2516 |
treatment as specified in division (C) of this section and | 2517 |
fourteen days before the expiration of the maximum time for | 2518 |
continuing evaluation and treatment as specified in division | 2519 |
(B)(1)(a) of this section; | 2520 |
(3) At a minimum, after each six months of treatment; | 2521 |
(4) Whenever the person who supervises the treatment or | 2522 |
continuing evaluation and treatment of an accused ordered under | 2523 |
division (B)(1)(a) of this section believes that there is not a | 2524 |
substantial probability that the accused will become capable of | 2525 |
understanding the nature and objective of the proceedings against | 2526 |
the accused or of assisting in the accused's defense even if the | 2527 |
accused is provided with a course of treatment. | 2528 |
(G) A report under division (F) of this section shall contain | 2529 |
the examiner's findings, the facts in reasonable detail on which | 2530 |
the findings are based, and the examiner's opinion as to the | 2531 |
accused's capability of understanding the nature and objective of | 2532 |
the proceedings against the accused and of assisting in the | 2533 |
accused's defense. If, in the examiner's opinion, the accused | 2534 |
remains incapable of understanding the nature and objective of the | 2535 |
proceedings against the accused and of assisting in the accused's | 2536 |
defense and there is a substantial probability that the accused | 2537 |
will become capable of understanding the nature and objective of | 2538 |
the proceedings against the accused and of assisting in the | 2539 |
accused's defense if the accused is provided with a course of | 2540 |
treatment, if in the examiner's opinion the accused remains | 2541 |
mentally ill, and if the maximum time for treatment as specified | 2542 |
in division (C) of this section has not expired, the report also | 2543 |
shall contain the examiner's recommendation as to the least | 2544 |
restrictive placement or commitment alternative that is consistent | 2545 |
with the accused's treatment needs for restoration to competency | 2546 |
and with the safety of the community. The court shall provide | 2547 |
copies of the report to the trial counsel and defense counsel. | 2548 |
(H) If an accused is committed pursuant to division (B)(1) of | 2549 |
this section, within ten days after the treating physician of the | 2550 |
accused or the examiner of the accused who is employed or retained | 2551 |
by the treating facility advises that there is not a substantial | 2552 |
probability that the accused will become capable of understanding | 2553 |
the nature and objective of the proceedings against the accused or | 2554 |
of assisting in the accused's defense even if the accused is | 2555 |
provided with a course of treatment, within ten days after the | 2556 |
expiration of the maximum time for treatment as specified in | 2557 |
division (C) of this section, within ten days after the expiration | 2558 |
of the maximum time for continuing evaluation and treatment as | 2559 |
specified in division (B)(1)(a) of this section, within thirty | 2560 |
days after an accused's request for a hearing that is made after | 2561 |
six months of treatment, or within thirty days after being advised | 2562 |
by the treating physician or examiner that the accused is | 2563 |
competent to stand trial, whichever is the earliest, the court | 2564 |
shall conduct another hearing to determine if the accused is | 2565 |
competent to stand trial and shall do whichever of the following | 2566 |
is applicable: | 2567 |
(1) If the court finds that the accused is competent to stand | 2568 |
trial, the accused shall be proceeded against as provided by law. | 2569 |
(2) If the court finds that the accused is incompetent to | 2570 |
stand trial, but that there is a substantial probability that the | 2571 |
accused will become competent to stand trial if the accused is | 2572 |
provided with a course of treatment, and the maximum time for | 2573 |
treatment as specified in division (C) of this section has not | 2574 |
expired, the court, after consideration of the examiner's | 2575 |
recommendation, shall order that treatment be continued, may | 2576 |
change least restrictive limitations on the accused's freedom of | 2577 |
movement. | 2578 |
(3) If the court finds that the accused is incompetent to | 2579 |
stand trial, if the accused is being tried by a general | 2580 |
court-martial, and if the court finds that there is not a | 2581 |
substantial probability that the accused will become competent to | 2582 |
stand trial even if the accused is provided with a course of | 2583 |
treatment, or if the maximum time for treatment as specified in | 2584 |
division (C) of this section has expired, further proceedings | 2585 |
shall be as provided in sections 5924.504 to 5924.506 of the | 2586 |
Revised Code. | 2587 |
(4) If the court finds that the accused is incompetent to | 2588 |
stand trial, if the accused is being tried before a special | 2589 |
court-martial, and if the court finds that there is not a | 2590 |
substantial probability that the accused will become competent to | 2591 |
stand trial even if the accused is provided with a course of | 2592 |
treatment, or if the maximum time for treatment as specified in | 2593 |
division (C) of this section has expired, the court shall dismiss | 2594 |
the charge against the accused. A dismissal under this division is | 2595 |
not a bar to further prosecution based on the same conduct. The | 2596 |
court shall discharge the accused unless the court or trial | 2597 |
counsel files an affidavit in probate court for civil commitment | 2598 |
pursuant to Chapter 5122. of the Revised Code. If an affidavit for | 2599 |
civil commitment is filed, the court may detain the accused for | 2600 |
ten days pending civil commitment. All of the following provisions | 2601 |
apply to persons being tried by a special court-martial who are | 2602 |
committed by the probate court subsequent to the court's or trial | 2603 |
counsel's filing of an affidavit for civil commitment under | 2604 |
authority of this division: | 2605 |
(a) The chief clinical officer of the entity, hospital, or | 2606 |
facility, the managing officer of the institution, or the person | 2607 |
to which the accused is committed or admitted shall do all of the | 2608 |
following: | 2609 |
(i) Notify the trial counsel in writing of the discharge of | 2610 |
the accused, send the notice at least ten days prior to the | 2611 |
discharge unless the discharge is by the probate court and state | 2612 |
in the notice the date on which the accused will be discharged; | 2613 |
(ii) Notify the trial counsel in writing when the accused is | 2614 |
absent without leave or is granted unsupervised, off-grounds | 2615 |
movement and send this notice promptly after the discovery of the | 2616 |
absence without leave or prior to the granting of the | 2617 |
unsupervised, off-grounds movement, whichever is applicable; | 2618 |
(iii) Notify the trial counsel in writing of the change of | 2619 |
the accused's commitment or admission to voluntary status, send | 2620 |
the notice promptly upon learning of the change to voluntary | 2621 |
status, and state in the notice the date on which the accused was | 2622 |
committed or admitted on a voluntary status. | 2623 |
(b) The trial counsel shall promptly inform the convening | 2624 |
authority of any notification received under division (H)(4)(a) of | 2625 |
this section. Upon receiving notice that the accused will be | 2626 |
granted unsupervised, off-grounds movement, the convening | 2627 |
authority either shall refer the charges against the accused to an | 2628 |
investigating officer again or promptly notify the court that the | 2629 |
convening authority does not intend to refer the charges against | 2630 |
the accused again. | 2631 |
(I) If an accused is convicted of a crime and sentenced to | 2632 |
confinement, the accused's sentence shall be reduced by the total | 2633 |
number of days the accused is confined for evaluation to determine | 2634 |
the accused's competence to stand trial or treatment under this | 2635 |
section and sections 5924.502 and 5924.504 of the Revised Code or | 2636 |
by the total number of days the accused is confined for evaluation | 2637 |
to determine the accused's mental condition at the time of the | 2638 |
offense charged. | 2639 |
Sec. 5924.504. (A) If an accused being tried by a general | 2640 |
court-martial is found incompetent to stand trial, after the | 2641 |
expiration of the maximum time for treatment as specified in | 2642 |
division (C) of section 5924.503 of the Revised Code or after the | 2643 |
court finds that there is not a substantial probability that the | 2644 |
accused will become competent to stand trial even if the accused | 2645 |
is provided with a course of treatment, one of the following | 2646 |
applies: | 2647 |
(1) The court or the trial counsel may file an affidavit in | 2648 |
probate court for civil commitment of the accused in the manner | 2649 |
provided in Chapter 5122. of the Revised Code. If the court or | 2650 |
trial counsel files an affidavit for civil commitment, the court | 2651 |
may detain the accused for ten days pending civil commitment. If | 2652 |
the probate court commits the accused subsequent to the court's or | 2653 |
trial counsel's filing of an affidavit for civil commitment, the | 2654 |
chief clinical officer of the entity, hospital, or facility, the | 2655 |
managing officer of the institution, or the person to which the | 2656 |
accused is committed or admitted shall send to the trial counsel | 2657 |
the notices described in divisions (H)(4)(a)(i) to (iii) of | 2658 |
section 5924.503 of the Revised Code within the periods of time | 2659 |
and under the circumstances specified in those divisions. | 2660 |
(2) On the motion of the trial counsel or on its own motion, | 2661 |
the court may retain jurisdiction over the accused if at a hearing | 2662 |
the court finds both of the following by clear and convincing | 2663 |
evidence: | 2664 |
(a) The accused committed the offense with which the accused | 2665 |
is charged. | 2666 |
(b) The accused is a mentally ill person subject to | 2667 |
hospitalization by court order. | 2668 |
(B) In making its determination under division (A)(2) of this | 2669 |
section as to whether to retain jurisdiction over the accused, the | 2670 |
court may consider all relevant evidence, including, but not | 2671 |
limited to, any relevant psychiatric, psychological, or medical | 2672 |
testimony or reports, the acts constituting the offense charged, | 2673 |
and any history of the accused that is relevant to the accused's | 2674 |
ability to conform to the law. | 2675 |
(C) If the court conducts a hearing as described in division | 2676 |
(A)(2) of this section and if the court does not make both | 2677 |
findings described in divisions (A)(2)(a) and (b) of this section | 2678 |
by clear and convincing evidence, the court shall dismiss the | 2679 |
charges against the accused. Upon the dismissal, the court shall | 2680 |
discharge the accused unless the court or trial counsel files an | 2681 |
affidavit in probate court for civil commitment of the accused | 2682 |
pursuant to Chapter 5122. of the Revised Code. If the court or | 2683 |
trial counsel files an affidavit for civil commitment, the court | 2684 |
may order that the accused be detained for up to ten days pending | 2685 |
the civil commitment. If the probate court commits the accused | 2686 |
subsequent to the court's or trial counsel's filing of an | 2687 |
affidavit for civil commitment, the chief clinical officer of the | 2688 |
entity, hospital, or facility, the managing officer of the | 2689 |
institution, or the person to which the accused is committed or | 2690 |
admitted shall send to the trial counsel the notices described in | 2691 |
divisions (H)(4)(a)(i) to (iii) of section 5924.503 of the Revised | 2692 |
Code within the periods of time and under the circumstances | 2693 |
specified in those divisions. A dismissal of charges under this | 2694 |
division is not a bar to further criminal proceedings based on the | 2695 |
same conduct. | 2696 |
(D)(1) If the court conducts a hearing as described in | 2697 |
division (A)(2) of this section and if the court makes the | 2698 |
findings described in divisions (A)(2)(a) and (b) of this section | 2699 |
by clear and convincing evidence, the court shall commit the | 2700 |
accused, if determined to require mental health treatment, to the | 2701 |
department of mental health for treatment at a hospital, facility, | 2702 |
or agency as determined clinically appropriate by the department | 2703 |
of mental health. In committing the accused to the department of | 2704 |
mental health, the court shall specify the least restrictive | 2705 |
limitations on the accused's freedom of movement determined to be | 2706 |
necessary to protect public safety. | 2707 |
(2) If a court makes a commitment of an accused under | 2708 |
division (D)(1) of this section, the trial counsel shall send to | 2709 |
the hospital, facility, or agency where the accused is placed by | 2710 |
the department of mental health or to the accused's place of | 2711 |
commitment all reports of the accused's current mental condition | 2712 |
and, except as otherwise provided in this division, any other | 2713 |
relevant information, including, but not limited to, a transcript | 2714 |
of the hearing held pursuant to division (A)(2) of this section, | 2715 |
copies of relevant investigative reports, and copies of any prior | 2716 |
arrest and conviction records that pertain to the accused and that | 2717 |
the trial counsel possesses. The trial counsel shall send the | 2718 |
reports of the accused's current mental condition in every case of | 2719 |
commitment, and, unless the trial counsel determines that the | 2720 |
release of any of the other relevant information to unauthorized | 2721 |
persons would interfere with the effective prosecution of any | 2722 |
person or would create a substantial risk of harm to any person, | 2723 |
the trial counsel also shall send the other relevant information. | 2724 |
(3) If a court makes a commitment under division (D)(1) of | 2725 |
this section, all further proceedings shall be in accordance with | 2726 |
Chapter 5122. of the Revised Code. | 2727 |
Sec. 5924.505. For purposes of sections 5924.502 and | 2728 |
5924.506 of the Revised Code, a person is "not guilty by reason of | 2729 |
insanity" relative to a charge of an offense only as described in | 2730 |
division (A)(14) of section 2901.01 of the Revised Code. Proof | 2731 |
that a person's reason, at the time of the commission of an | 2732 |
offense, was so impaired that the person did not have the ability | 2733 |
to refrain from doing the person's act or acts, does not | 2734 |
constitute a defense. | 2735 |
Sec. 5924.506. (A) If an accused person is found not guilty | 2736 |
by reason of insanity, the verdict shall state that finding, and | 2737 |
the trial court shall conduct a full hearing to determine whether | 2738 |
the person is a mentally ill person subject to hospitalization by | 2739 |
court order. Prior to the hearing, if the military judge believes | 2740 |
that there is probable cause that the person found not guilty by | 2741 |
reason of insanity is a mentally ill person subject to | 2742 |
hospitalization by court order, the military judge may issue a | 2743 |
temporary order of detention for that person to remain in effect | 2744 |
for ten court days or until the hearing, whichever occurs first. | 2745 |
Any person detained pursuant to a temporary order of | 2746 |
detention issued under this division shall be held in a suitable | 2747 |
facility, taking into consideration the place and type of | 2748 |
confinement prior to and during trial. | 2749 |
(B) The court shall hold the hearing under division (A) of | 2750 |
this section to determine whether the person found not guilty by | 2751 |
reason of insanity is a mentally ill person subject to | 2752 |
hospitalization by court order within ten court days after the | 2753 |
finding of not guilty by reason of insanity. Failure to conduct | 2754 |
the hearing within the ten-day period shall cause the immediate | 2755 |
discharge of the respondent, unless the judge grants a continuance | 2756 |
for not longer than ten court days for good cause shown or for any | 2757 |
period of time upon motion of the respondent. | 2758 |
(C) If a person is found not guilty by reason of insanity, | 2759 |
the person has the right to attend a hearing conducted pursuant to | 2760 |
this section. At the hearing, the court shall inform the person | 2761 |
that the person has all of the following rights: | 2762 |
(1) The right to be represented by defense counsel or to | 2763 |
retain civilian counsel, if the person so chooses; | 2764 |
(2) The right to have independent expert evaluation; | 2765 |
(3) The right to subpoena witnesses and documents, to present | 2766 |
evidence on the person's behalf, and to cross-examine witnesses | 2767 |
against the person; | 2768 |
(4) The right to testify in the person's own behalf and to | 2769 |
not be compelled to testify; | 2770 |
(5) The right to have copies of any relevant medical or | 2771 |
mental health document in the custody of the state or of any place | 2772 |
of commitment other than a document for which the court finds that | 2773 |
the release to the person of information contained in the document | 2774 |
would create a substantial risk of harm to any person. | 2775 |
(D) The hearing under division (A) of this section shall be | 2776 |
open to the public, and the court shall conduct the hearing in | 2777 |
accordance with regulations prescribed by the adjutant general. | 2778 |
The court shall make and maintain a full transcript and record of | 2779 |
the hearing proceedings. The court may consider all relevant | 2780 |
evidence, including, but not limited to, any relevant psychiatric, | 2781 |
psychological, or medical testimony or reports, the acts | 2782 |
constituting the offense in relation to which the person was found | 2783 |
not guilty by reason of insanity, and any history of the person | 2784 |
that is relevant to the person's ability to conform to the law. | 2785 |
(E) Upon completion of the hearing under division (A) of this | 2786 |
section, if the court finds there is not clear and convincing | 2787 |
evidence that the person is a mentally ill person subject to | 2788 |
hospitalization by court order, the court shall discharge the | 2789 |
person, unless a detainer has been placed upon the person by the | 2790 |
department of rehabilitation and correction, in which case the | 2791 |
person shall be returned to that department. | 2792 |
(F) If, at the hearing under division (A) of this section, | 2793 |
the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the person | 2794 |
is a mentally ill person subject to hospitalization by court | 2795 |
order, it shall commit the person to the department of mental | 2796 |
health for placement in a hospital, facility, or agency as | 2797 |
determined clinically appropriate by the department of mental | 2798 |
health. Further proceedings shall be in accordance with Chapter | 2799 |
5122. or 5123. of the Revised Code. In committing the accused to | 2800 |
the department of mental health, the court shall specify the least | 2801 |
restrictive limitations on the accused's freedom of movement | 2802 |
determined to be necessary to protect public safety. | 2803 |
(G) If a court makes a commitment of a person under division | 2804 |
(F) of this section, the trial counsel shall send to the hospital, | 2805 |
facility, or agency where the defendant is placed by the | 2806 |
department of mental health or to the accused's place of | 2807 |
commitment all reports of the person's current mental condition, | 2808 |
and, except as otherwise provided in this division, any other | 2809 |
relevant information, including, but not limited to, a transcript | 2810 |
of the hearing held pursuant to division (A) of this section, | 2811 |
copies of relevant investigative reports, and copies of any prior | 2812 |
arrest and conviction records that pertain to the person and that | 2813 |
the trial counsel possesses. The trial counsel shall send the | 2814 |
reports of the person's current mental condition in every case of | 2815 |
commitment, and, unless the trial counsel determines that the | 2816 |
release of any of the other relevant information to unauthorized | 2817 |
persons would interfere with the effective prosecution of any | 2818 |
person or would create a substantial risk of harm to any person, | 2819 |
the trial counsel also shall send the other relevant information. | 2820 |
(H) A person who is committed pursuant to this section shall | 2821 |
not voluntarily admit the person or be voluntarily admitted to a | 2822 |
hospital or institution pursuant to sections 5122.02 and 5122.15 | 2823 |
of the Revised Code. | 2824 |
Sec. 5924.51. (A) Voting by members of a general or special | 2825 |
court-martial on the findings and on the sentence, and by members | 2826 |
of a court-martial without a military judge upon questions of | 2827 |
challenge, shall be by secret written ballot. The junior member of | 2828 |
the court shall in each case count the votes. The count shall be | 2829 |
checked by the president, who shall forthwith announce the result | 2830 |
of the ballot to the members of the court. | 2831 |
(B) The military judge and, except for questions of | 2832 |
challenge, the president of a court-martial without a military | 2833 |
judge shall rule upon all questions of law and all interlocutory | 2834 |
questions arising during the proceedings. Any such ruling made by | 2835 |
the military judge upon any question of law or any interlocutory | 2836 |
question other than the factual issue of mental responsibility of | 2837 |
the accused, or by the president of a special court-martial, | 2838 |
without a military judge upon any question of law other than a | 2839 |
motion for a finding of not guilty, is final and constitutes the | 2840 |
ruling of the court. However, the military judge or the president | 2841 |
of a court-martial without a military judge may change the ruling | 2842 |
at any time during the trial. Unless the ruling is final, if any | 2843 |
member objects thereto, the court shall be cleared and closed and | 2844 |
the question decided by a voice vote as provided in section | 2845 |
5924.52 of the Revised Code, beginning with the junior in rank. | 2846 |
(C) Before a vote is taken on the findings, the military | 2847 |
judge or the president of a court-martial without a military judge | 2848 |
shall, in the presence of the accused and counsel, instruct the | 2849 |
members of the court as to the elements of the offense and charge | 2850 |
2851 |
(1) That the accused must be presumed to be innocent until | 2852 |
2853 | |
reasonable doubt; | 2854 |
(2) That in the case being considered, if there is a | 2855 |
reasonable doubt as to the guilt of the accused, the doubt must be | 2856 |
resolved in favor of the accused, and | 2857 |
acquitted; | 2858 |
(3) That, if there is a reasonable doubt as to the degree of | 2859 |
guilt, the finding must be in a lower degree as to which there is | 2860 |
no reasonable doubt; and | 2861 |
(4) That the burden of proof to establish the guilt of the | 2862 |
accused beyond reasonable doubt is upon the state. | 2863 |
(D) Divisions (A), (B), and (C) of this section do not apply | 2864 |
to a court-martial composed of a military judge only. The military | 2865 |
judge of such a court-martial shall determine all questions of law | 2866 |
and fact arising during the proceedings and, if the accused is | 2867 |
convicted, adjudge an appropriate sentence. The military judge of | 2868 |
such a court-martial shall make a general finding and shall in | 2869 |
addition on request | 2870 |
findings of fact. If an opinion or memorandum of decision is | 2871 |
filed, it will be sufficient if the findings of fact appear | 2872 |
therein. | 2873 |

2891 | |
2892 |
| 2893 |
general or special court-martial shall be determined by a majority | 2894 |
vote, but a determination to reconsider a finding of guilty or to | 2895 |
reconsider a sentence, to decrease or lessen it, may be made by | 2896 |
any lesser vote | 2897 |
not opposed by the number of votes required for that finding or | 2898 |
sentence. A tie vote on a challenge disqualifies the member | 2899 |
challenged. A tie vote on a motion for a finding of not guilty or | 2900 |
on a motion relating to the question of the accused's sanity is a | 2901 |
determination against the accused. A tie vote on any other | 2902 |
question is a determination in favor of the accused. | 2903 |
Sec. 5924.54. (A) Each general court-martial shall keep a | 2904 |
separate record of the proceedings in each case brought before it, | 2905 |
and the record shall be authenticated by the signature of the | 2906 |
military judge. If the record cannot be authenticated by the | 2907 |
military judge by reason of | 2908 |
shall be authenticated by the signature of the trial counsel or by | 2909 |
that of a member if the trial counsel is unable to authenticate it | 2910 |
by reason of | 2911 |
consisting of only a military judge, the record shall be | 2912 |
authenticated by the court reporter under the same conditions | 2913 |

the sentence adjudged includes a dismissal, a discharge, or any | 2929 |
punishment that exceeds the punishment that may otherwise be | 2930 |
adjudged by a special court-martial; | 2931 |
(b) Each case tried before a special court-martial in which | 2932 |
the sentence adjudged includes a bad-conduct discharge, | 2933 |
confinement for more than six months, or forfeiture of pay for | 2934 |
more than six months. | 2935 |
(2) In all other cases tried before a court-martial, the | 2936 |
record shall contain any matters that are required by regulations | 2937 |
of the adjutant general. A copy of the record of the proceedings | 2938 |
of each general and special court-martial shall be given to the | 2939 |
accused as soon as it is authenticated.

2954 | |
grade that is included in a sentence of a court-martial takes | 2955 |
effect on the earlier of the date that is fourteen days after the | 2956 |
date on which the sentence is adjudged or the date on which the | 2957 |
sentence is approved by the convening authority. | 2958 |
(2) On application of an accused, the convening authority may | 2959 |
defer a forfeiture of pay or allowances or reduction in grade that | 2960 |
would otherwise become effective on the date that is fourteen days | 2961 |
after the date on which the sentence is adjudged until the date on | 2962 |
which the sentence is approved by the convening authority. The | 2963 |
convening authority may at any time rescind a deferment granted | 2964 |
under this division. | 2965 |
(3) A forfeiture of pay or allowances applies to pay or | 2966 |
allowances accruing on and after the date on which the sentence | 2967 |

2974 | |
2975 | |
2976 |
(C) All other sentences of courts-martial are effective on | 2977 |
the date ordered executed. | 2978 |
(D)(1) On application by an accused who is under sentence to | 2979 |
confinement that has not been ordered executed, the convening | 2980 |
authority or, if the accused is no longer under | 2981 |
authority's jurisdiction, the
| 2982 |
court-martial jurisdiction over the command to which the accused | 2983 |
is currently assigned may in | 2984 |
defer service of the sentence to confinement. The deferment shall | 2985 |
terminate when the sentence is ordered executed. The deferment may | 2986 |
be rescinded at any time by the officer who granted it or, if the | 2987 |
accused is no longer under | 2988 |
2989 | |
over the command to which the accused is currently assigned. | 2990 |
(2) In any case in which a court-martial sentences a person | 2991 |
described in division (D)(3) of this section to confinement, the | 2992 |
convening authority may defer the service of the sentence to | 2993 |
confinement, without the consent of that person, until after the | 2994 |
person has been permanently released to the armed forces by a | 2995 |
state or foreign country referred to in that division. | 2996 |

the court-martial is returned to that state or foreign country | 3001 |
under the authority of a mutual agreement or treaty. | 3002 |

includes the District of Columbia and any state, commonwealth, | 3004 |
territory, or possession of the United States having a national | 3005 |
guard. | 3006 |
(E) In any case in which a sentence to confinement has been | 3007 |
ordered executed but in which review of the case under section | 3008 |
5924.64 of the Revised Code is pending, the adjutant general may | 3009 |
defer further service of the sentence while the review is pending. | 3010 |
Sec. 5924.58. (A) | 3011 |
adjutant general, a sentence of confinement adjudged by a | 3012 |
court-martial or other military | 3013 |
sentence includes discharge or dismissal, and whether or not the | 3014 |
discharge or dismissal has been executed, may be carried into | 3015 |
execution by confinement in any
| 3016 |
3017 | |
3018 | |
facility in this state. Persons so confined | 3019 |
are subject to the same discipline and treatment as persons | 3020 |

without confinement reduces the member to pay grade E-1, effective | 3041 |
on the date the convening authority approves the sentence. | 3042 |
(B) If the sentence of a member who is reduced in pay grade | 3043 |
under division (A) of this section is set aside or disapproved, or | 3044 |
as finally approved does not include a dishonorable or bad-conduct | 3045 |
discharge, confinement, or hard labor without confinement, the | 3046 |
rights and privileges of which the member was deprived because of | 3047 |
the reduction in pay are restored, and the member shall be paid | 3048 |
the pay and allowances that the member would have been paid for | 3049 |
the period the reduction was in effect had the member not been | 3050 |
reduced in pay. | 3051 |
Sec. 5924.582. (A) A member who receives a court-martial | 3052 |
sentence that includes confinement for more than six months or | 3053 |
confinement for six months or less and a dishonorable or | 3054 |
bad-conduct discharge or dismissal forfeits pay, or pay and | 3055 |
allowances, during any period of confinement or parole. The | 3056 |
forfeiture takes effect on the date determined under section | 3057 |
5924.57 of the Revised Code and may be deferred as provided by | 3058 |
that section. The pay and allowances forfeited as a result of a | 3059 |
sentence imposed by a general court-martial shall be all pay and | 3060 |
allowances due during any period of confinement or parole. The pay | 3061 |
and allowances forfeited as a result of a sentence imposed by a | 3062 |
special court-martial shall be two-thirds of all pay and | 3063 |
allowances due during any period of confinement or parole. | 3064 |
(B) If a member subject to forfeiture of pay or pay and | 3065 |
allowances under division (A) of this section has dependents, the | 3066 |
convening authority or other person acting under section 5924.60 | 3067 |
of the Revised Code may waive all or part of the forfeiture of pay | 3068 |
and allowances for a period not exceeding six months. Any pay or | 3069 |
allowances paid as a result of a waiver shall be paid, as the | 3070 |
convening authority or other person taking action directs, to the | 3071 |
dependents of the accused member. | 3072 |
(C) If the sentence of a member who forfeits pay and | 3073 |
allowances under division (A) of this section is set aside or | 3074 |
disapproved or, as finally approved, does not provide for a | 3075 |
punishment that includes confinement for more than six months or | 3076 |
confinement for six months or less and a dishonorable or | 3077 |
bad-conduct discharge or dismissal, the member shall be paid the | 3078 |
pay and allowances that the member would have been paid for the | 3079 |
period the forfeiture was in effect had the member's pay and | 3080 |
allowances not been forfeited. | 3081 |
Sec. 5924.59. (A) A finding or sentence of a court-martial | 3082 |
may not be held incorrect on the ground of an error of law unless | 3083 |
the error materially prejudices the substantial rights of the | 3084 |
accused. | 3085 |
(B) Any reviewing authority with the power to approve or | 3086 |
affirm a finding of guilty may instead approve or affirm so much | 3087 |
of the finding as includes a lesser included offense. | 3088 |
Sec. 5924.60. | 3089 |
3090 | |
convening authority | 3091 |

3093 | |
3094 |
(B)(1) The accused may submit to the convening authority | 3095 |
matters relating to the findings and sentence to the convening | 3096 |
authority for its consideration. A submission shall be in writing. | 3097 |
A submission shall be made within ten days after the accused has | 3098 |
been given an authenticated record of trial and, if applicable, | 3099 |
the recommendation of the staff judge advocate or legal officer | 3100 |
under division (D) of this section or, in a summary court-martial | 3101 |
case, within seven days after the sentence is announced. | 3102 |
(2) The convening authority or other person taking action | 3103 |
under this section, for good cause shown by the accused, may | 3104 |
extend the period for submission of matters under division (B)(1) | 3105 |
of this section for not more than twenty days. | 3106 |
(3) In a summary court-martial case, the summary court | 3107 |
officer shall promptly provide the accused with a copy of the | 3108 |
record of trial for use in preparing a submission authorized by | 3109 |
division (B)(1) of this section. | 3110 |
(4) The accused may waive the right to make a submission | 3111 |
under division (B)(1) of this section. A waiver shall be made in | 3112 |
writing and may not be revoked. The time within which the accused | 3113 |
may make a submission under this subsection expires upon the | 3114 |
submission of a waiver to the convening authority. | 3115 |
(C)(1) The authority under this section to act on the | 3116 |
findings and sentence of a court-martial is a matter of command | 3117 |
prerogative involving the sole discretion of the convening | 3118 |
authority. Pursuant to regulations prescribed by the adjutant | 3119 |
general, a commissioned officer commanding for the time being, a | 3120 |
successor in command, or any person exercising general | 3121 |
court-martial jurisdiction may act under this section in place of | 3122 |
the convening authority. | 3123 |
(2) The convening authority or another person authorized to | 3124 |
act under this section may act on the sentence of a court-martial | 3125 |
pursuant to division (B)(3) of this section. Subject to | 3126 |
regulations prescribed by the adjutant general, the convening | 3127 |
authority or other authorized person may act only after the | 3128 |
accused submits matters under division (B) of this section or the | 3129 |
time for submitting matters expires, whichever is earlier. If the | 3130 |
accused makes a submission, the convening authority or other | 3131 |
authorized person shall take the submission into consideration | 3132 |
before acting. | 3133 |
(3) The convening authority or other authorized person, in | 3134 |
the convening authority's or other authorized person's sole | 3135 |
discretion, may approve, disapprove, commute, or suspend the | 3136 |
sentence of a court-martial in whole or in part. The convening | 3137 |
authority or other authorized person acting on a sentence may but | 3138 |
is not required to take action on the findings of the | 3139 |
court-martial. A convening authority or other authorized person | 3140 |
that chooses to act on the findings may dismiss any charge or | 3141 |
specification by setting aside a finding of guilt with regard to | 3142 |
that charge or specification or may change a finding of guilty | 3143 |
with regard to a charge or specification to a finding of guilty to | 3144 |
an offense that is a lesser included offense of the offense stated | 3145 |
in the charge or specification. | 3146 |
(D) Before acting under this section on any general | 3147 |
court-martial case or on any special court-martial case that | 3148 |
includes a bad-conduct discharge, the convening authority or other | 3149 |
authorized person shall obtain and consider the written | 3150 |
recommendation of the convening authority's or other authorized | 3151 |
person's staff judge advocate or legal officer. The convening | 3152 |
authority or other authorized person shall refer the record of | 3153 |
trial to the staff judge advocate or legal officer. The staff | 3154 |
judge advocate or legal officer shall use the record in the | 3155 |
preparation of a recommendation. The recommendation shall include | 3156 |
any matters that the adjutant general may require by regulation | 3157 |
and shall be served on the accused. The accused may submit any | 3158 |
matter in response under division (B) of this section. If in the | 3159 |
accused's response, the accused does not object to one or more | 3160 |
matters contained in the recommendation, the accused waives the | 3161 |
right to object to those matters. | 3162 |
(E)(1) The convening authority or other authorized person, in | 3163 |
the convening authority's or other authorized person's sole | 3164 |
discretion, may order a proceeding in revision or a rehearing. | 3165 |
(2) The convening authority or other authorized person may | 3166 |
order a proceeding in revision if there is an apparent error or | 3167 |
omission in the record of a court-martial or if the record shows | 3168 |
improper or inconsistent action by a court-martial with respect to | 3169 |
the findings or sentence that can be rectified without material | 3170 |
prejudice to the substantial rights of the accused. In a | 3171 |
proceeding in revision, the convening authority or other | 3172 |
authorized person may not do any of the following: | 3173 |
(a) Reconsider a finding of not guilty of any specification | 3174 |
or a ruling that amounts to a finding of not guilty; | 3175 |
(b) Reconsider a finding of not guilty of any charge, unless | 3176 |
there has been a finding of guilty under a specification laid | 3177 |
under that charge that sufficiently alleges a violation of any | 3178 |
provision of this chapter; | 3179 |
(c) Increase the severity of the sentence. | 3180 |
(3) The convening authority or other authorized person may | 3181 |
order a rehearing if the convening authority or other authorized | 3182 |
person disapproves the findings or sentence and states the reasons | 3183 |
for disapproval of the findings or sentence. If the convening | 3184 |
authority or other authorized person disapproves the findings or | 3185 |
sentence and does not order a rehearing, the convening authority | 3186 |
or other authorized person shall dismiss the charges. A convening | 3187 |
authority or other authorized person may not order a rehearing as | 3188 |
to the findings if the record does not contain sufficient evidence | 3189 |
to support the findings. A convening authority or other authorized | 3190 |
person may order a rehearing as to the sentence if the convening | 3191 |
authority or other authorized person disapproves the sentence. | 3192 |
Sec. 5924.61. (A) An accused may appeal a finding of guilty | 3193 |
or the sentence of a court-martial to the court of military | 3194 |
appeals. The court shall hear an appeal if the convening authority | 3195 |
or other authorized person approved a sentence of dismissal of a | 3196 |
commissioned officer, dishonorable or bad conduct discharge, or | 3197 |
confinement for one year or more and if the appeal was timely | 3198 |
filed. The court may hear any other appeals that the court, in its | 3199 |
sole discretion, allows. | 3200 |
(B) An accused who is found guilty may appeal under this | 3201 |
section by filing a notice of appeal with the convening authority | 3202 |
that ordered the court-martial within thirty calendar days after | 3203 |
the convening authority serves a copy of the approved findings and | 3204 |
sentence on the trial attorney of record for the accused or, if | 3205 |
the accused waived the right to counsel, on the accused in | 3206 |
accordance with regulations prescribed by the adjutant general. | 3207 |
The notice of appeal shall state the name of the party taking the | 3208 |
appeal, the findings, sentence, or parts of the findings or | 3209 |
sentence appealed from, and the grounds for the appeal. Failure to | 3210 |
file a notice of appeal in a timely manner constitutes a waiver of | 3211 |
the right to appeal. | 3212 |
(C) Upon receiving a notice of appeal, the convening | 3213 |
authority shall serve a copy of the notice on the trial counsel | 3214 |
and on the trial attorney of record for any codefendant or, if a | 3215 |
codefendant waived the right to counsel, on the codefendant in | 3216 |
accordance with regulations prescribed by the adjutant general. | 3217 |
The convening authority shall note on each copy served the date on | 3218 |
which the notice of appeal was filed. Failure of the convening | 3219 |
authority to serve a copy of the notice of appeal does not affect | 3220 |
the validity of the appeal. Service in accordance with division | 3221 |
(C) of this section is sufficient notwithstanding the death of a | 3222 |
party or a party's counsel. The convening authority shall note on | 3223 |
its docket the names of the parties served, the dates on which | 3224 |
they were served, and the method of service. | 3225 |
(D) An accused may waive appellate review by filing with the | 3226 |
convening authority, within ten days after the action under | 3227 |
section 5924.60 of the Revised Code is served on the accused or on | 3228 |
defense counsel, a written waiver signed by the accused and by | 3229 |
defense counsel. The convening authority or other person taking | 3230 |
such action, for good cause, may extend the period for filing by | 3231 |
not more than thirty days. | 3232 |
(E) An accused may voluntarily withdraw an appeal at any time | 3233 |
by filing a notice of withdrawal with the convening authority. | 3234 |
(F) A waiver of the right to appellate review or the | 3235 |
withdrawal of an appeal bars any further review under this section | 3236 |
or section 5924.69 of the Revised Code. | 3237 |
Sec. 5924.62. (A) In a trial by court-martial in which a | 3238 |
military judge presides and in which a punitive discharge may be | 3239 |
adjudged, the state may appeal any of the following, except an | 3240 |
order or ruling that is, or that amounts to, a finding of not | 3241 |
guilty with respect to the charge or specification: | 3242 |
(1) An order or ruling that terminates the proceedings with | 3243 |
respect to a charge or specification; | 3244 |
(2) An order or ruling that excludes evidence that is of | 3245 |
substantial consequence to the determination of the material | 3246 |
issues in the proceeding; | 3247 |
(3) An order or ruling that directs the disclosure of | 3248 |
classified information; | 3249 |
(4) An order or ruling that imposes sanctions for | 3250 |
nondisclosure of classified information; | 3251 |
(5) A refusal by the military judge to issue a protective | 3252 |
order sought by the state to prevent the disclosure of classified | 3253 |
information; | 3254 |
(6) A refusal by the military judge to enforce a protective | 3255 |
order that has previously been issued by appropriate authority to | 3256 |
prevent the disclosure of classified information. | 3257 |
(B) The state may not appeal an order or ruling unless within | 3258 |
seventy-two hours after the military judge serves the order or | 3259 |
ruling the trial counsel files with the military judge a written | 3260 |
notice of appeal from the order or ruling. The notice shall | 3261 |
include a certification by the trial counsel that the appeal is | 3262 |
not taken for the purpose of delay and, if the order or ruling | 3263 |
appealed is one that excludes evidence, that the evidence excluded | 3264 |
is substantial proof of a fact material in the proceeding. | 3265 |
(C) Appellate government counsel shall diligently prosecute | 3266 |
an appeal under this section to the court of military appeals | 3267 |
created by section 5924.66 of the Revised Code. | 3268 |
(D) Any period of delay resulting from an appeal under this | 3269 |
section shall be excluded in deciding any issue regarding denial | 3270 |
of a speedy trial unless an appropriate authority determines that | 3271 |
the appeal was filed solely for the purpose of delay with the | 3272 |
knowledge that it was totally frivolous and without merit. | 3273 |

rehearing the accused may not be tried for any offense of which | 3285 |
the accused was found not guilty by the first court-martial, and | 3286 |
no sentence in excess of or more severe than the original sentence | 3287 |
may be | 3288 |
finding of guilty of an offense not considered upon the merits in | 3289 |
the original proceedings, or unless the sentence prescribed for | 3290 |
the offense is mandatory. If the sentence approved after the first | 3291 |
court-martial was in accordance with a pretrial agreement and the | 3292 |
accused at the rehearing changes the accused's plea with respect | 3293 |
to the charges or specifications upon which the pretrial agreement | 3294 |
was based or otherwise does not comply with the pretrial | 3295 |
agreement, the approved sentence as to those charges or | 3296 |
specifications may include any punishment not in excess of the | 3297 |
punishment lawfully adjudged at the first court-martial. | 3298 |
Sec. 5924.64. (A) A judge advocate shall review pursuant to | 3299 |
regulations prescribed by the adjutant general each case in which | 3300 |
there has been a finding of guilty and in which no appeal is | 3301 |
taken. A judge advocate may not review a case under this section | 3302 |
if the judge advocate has acted in the same case as an accuser, | 3303 |
investigating officer, member of the court, military judge, or | 3304 |
counsel or has otherwise acted on behalf of the prosecution or | 3305 |
defense. For each case reviewed under this section, the judge | 3306 |
advocate shall issue written findings and recommendations that | 3307 |
contain all of the following: | 3308 |
(1) Conclusions as to whether the court had jurisdiction over | 3309 |
the accused and the offense; | 3310 |
(2) Conclusions as to whether the charge and specification | 3311 |
stated an offense; | 3312 |
(3) Conclusions as to whether the sentence was within the | 3313 |
limits prescribed by law; | 3314 |
(4) A response to each allegation of error made in writing by | 3315 |
the accused; | 3316 |
(5) If the case is sent for action under division (B) of this | 3317 |
section, a recommendation as to the appropriate action to be taken | 3318 |
and an opinion as to whether corrective action is required as a | 3319 |
matter of law. | 3320 |
(B) The record of trial and related documents in each case | 3321 |
reviewed under division (A) of this section shall be sent for | 3322 |
further action under division (C) of this section to the person | 3323 |
exercising general court-martial jurisdiction over the accused at | 3324 |
the time the court was convened or that person's successor in | 3325 |
command if any of the following applies: | 3326 |
(1) The judge advocate who reviewed the case recommends | 3327 |
corrective action. | 3328 |
(2) The sentence approved under division (C) of section | 3329 |
5924.60 of the Revised Code includes dismissal, a bad-conduct or | 3330 |
dishonorable discharge, or confinement for more than six months. | 3331 |
(3) Regulations prescribed by the adjutant general require | 3332 |
further review. | 3333 |
(C) The person to whom the record of trial and related | 3334 |
documents are sent under division (B) of this section may do any | 3335 |
of the following: | 3336 |
(1) Approve or disapprove the findings or sentence in whole | 3337 |
or in part; | 3338 |
(2) Remit, commute, or suspend the sentence in whole or in | 3339 |
part; | 3340 |
(3) Order a rehearing on the findings, the sentence, or both; | 3341 |
(4) Dismiss the charges. | 3342 |
(D) If a rehearing is ordered but the convening authority | 3343 |
finds that a rehearing is impracticable, the convening authority | 3344 |
shall dismiss the charges. | 3345 |
(E) If the opinion of the judge advocate who reviews a case | 3346 |
under division (A) of this section finds that corrective action is | 3347 |
required as a matter of law and the person required to take action | 3348 |
under division (B) of this section does not take action that is at | 3349 |
least as favorable to the accused as that recommended by the judge | 3350 |
advocate, the convening authority shall transmit the record of | 3351 |
trial and action on that record to the state judge advocate for | 3352 |
review. | 3353 |
(F) The judge advocate who under this section reviews a case | 3354 |

convening authority shall transmit the record of trial and | 3358 |
post-trial proceedings in the case to the state judge advocate for | 3359 |
appropriate action. If the accused does not file a notice of | 3360 |
appeal or files a notice of appeal and withdraws the appeal, then | 3361 |
following completion of all post-trial review, the record of trial | 3362 |
and related documents shall be transmitted and disposed of as the | 3363 |
adjutant general may prescribe by regulation. | 3364 |
Sec. 5924.66. (A) There is hereby created the court of | 3365 |
military appeals. The court is a court of record and has exclusive | 3366 |
jurisdiction of all appeals from courts-martial convened pursuant | 3367 |
to this code. The court shall sit in Franklin county. All hearings | 3368 |
conducted by the court shall be public. | 3369 |
(B) The judges of the court of military appeals shall be | 3370 |
military appellate judges appointed by the adjutant general. Each | 3371 |
judge shall be a retired judge advocate officer who has previously | 3372 |
served in the rank of colonel or above in either the Ohio army | 3373 |
national guard or the Ohio air national guard. The judges shall | 3374 |
sit in panels of not less than three members. | 3375 |
(C) The adjutant general may make rules governing practice | 3376 |
and procedure in the court of military appeals. The Rules of | 3377 |
Appellate Procedure apply in proceedings in the court to the | 3378 |
extent that they are not inconsistent with this code or with rules | 3379 |
made by the adjutant general under this division. | 3380 |
Sec. 5924.67. A judge of the court of military appeals shall | 3381 |
receive as compensation for each day of attendance on the business | 3382 |
of the court an amount equal to the annual compensation of a judge | 3383 |
of a court of appeals divided by the number of days in the | 3384 |
calendar year. A judge who does not reside in Franklin county | 3385 |
shall be reimbursed for the judge's actual and necessary expenses | 3386 |
of traveling to and from Franklin county to attend the business of | 3387 |
the court. | 3388 |
Sec. 5924.68. The court of military appeals may subpoena | 3389 |
witnesses, require the production of evidence, and punish for | 3390 |
contempt in the same manner and to the same extent as a common | 3391 |
pleas court. | 3392 |
Sec. 5924.69. Appeals from orders and judgments of the court | 3393 |
of military appeals may be taken to the supreme court in the same | 3394 |
manner and to the same extent as criminal appeals from orders and | 3395 |
judgments of a court of appeals. | 3396 |
Sec. 5924.70. (A) The state judge advocate shall detail one | 3397 |
or more judge advocates as appellate government counsel and one or | 3398 |
more judge advocates assigned to the United States army trial | 3399 |
defense service or the United States air force area defense | 3400 |
counsel as appellate defense counsel. Appellate counsel shall be | 3401 |
members in good standing of the bar of this state and certified by | 3402 |
the state judge advocate to be competent to act as appellate | 3403 |
counsel. | 3404 |
(B) Appellate government counsel shall represent the state in | 3405 |
the court of military appeals. In a case arising under this code | 3406 |
that is heard in the supreme court, appellate government counsel | 3407 |
shall represent the state in the supreme court unless the attorney | 3408 |
general elects to represent the state. | 3409 |
(C) Appellate defense counsel shall represent the accused in | 3410 |

commissioned officer or cadet includes dismissal, that part of the | 3418 |
sentence providing for dismissal may not be executed until it is | 3419 |
approved by the adjutant general. The adjutant general may | 3420 |
commute, remit, or suspend the sentence or any part of the | 3421 |
sentence as the adjutant general sees fit. In time of war or | 3422 |
national emergency, the adjutant general may commute a sentence of | 3423 |
dismissal to reduction to any enlisted grade. A person so reduced | 3424 |
may be required to serve for the duration of the war or emergency | 3425 |
and for six months after the end of the war or emergency. | 3426 |
(B)(1) If the sentence of a court-martial includes dismissal | 3427 |
or dishonorable or bad-conduct discharge and the accused appeals | 3428 |
to the court of military appeals, the dismissal or discharge part | 3429 |
of the sentence may not be executed until the appellate process | 3430 |
has been completed and, in case of dismissal, approval of the | 3431 |
sentence by the adjutant general. The appellate process is | 3432 |
completed when any of the following occurs: | 3433 |
(a) The accused withdraws the appeal. | 3434 |
(b) The court of military appeals renders a decision, and the | 3435 |
time for filing a notice of appeal to the supreme court elapses | 3436 |
without the accused having filed a notice of appeal. | 3437 |
(c) The supreme court issues an order dismissing the appeal | 3438 |
or entering judgment on the leave to appeal. | 3439 |
(2) If the sentence of a court-martial includes dismissal or | 3440 |
dishonorable or bad-conduct discharge and the accused fails to | 3441 |
appeal to the court of military appeals, waives appellate review, | 3442 |

(a) The ignorance or mistake existed in the mind of the | 3894 |

(I)In a prosecution under this section, in proving that the | 3998 |
accused made a threat, it need not be proven that the accused | 3999 |
actually intended to carry out the threat. | 4000 |
(J)(1) In a prosecution under division (C)(2), (G), or (H) of | 4001 |
this section, it is an affirmative defense that the accused and | 4002 |
the other person, when they engaged in the sexual conduct were | 4003 |
married to each other. | 4004 |
(2) Division (J)(1) of this section does not apply if the | 4005 |
accused's intent at the time of the sexual conduct is to abuse, | 4006 |
humiliate, or degrade any person. | 4007 |
(K)(1) Lack of permission is an element of the offense under | 4008 |
division (G) of this section. Consent and mistake of fact as to | 4009 |
consent are affirmative defenses only to the sexual conduct in | 4010 |

this section. | 4012 |
(2) The enumeration in this section of some affirmative | 4013 |
defenses shall not be construed as excluding the existence of | 4014 |
other affirmative defenses. | 4015 |
(3) The accused has the burden of proving an affirmative | 4016 |
defense by a preponderance of evidence. After the defense meets | 4017 |
this burden, the prosecution has the burden of proving beyond a | 4018 |
reasonable doubt that the affirmative defense did not exist. | 4019 |
(L)(1) An expression of lack of consent through words or | 4020 |
conduct means there is no consent. Lack of verbal or physical | 4021 |
resistance or submission resulting from an accused's use of force, | 4022 |
threat of force, or placing another person in fear does not | 4023 |
constitute consent. A current or previous dating relationship by | 4024 |
itself or the manner of dress of a person involved with the | 4025 |
accused in the sexual conduct does not constitute consent. | 4026 |
(2) A person cannot consent to sexual conduct if the person | 4027 |
is substantially incapable of any of the following: | 4028 |
(a) Appraising the nature of the sexual conduct due to mental | 4029 |
impairment or unconsciousness resulting from consumption of | 4030 |
alcohol, drugs, or a similar substance or any other cause or to | 4031 |
mental disease or defect that renders the person unable to | 4032 |
understand the nature of the sexual conduct; | 4033 |
(b) Physically declining to participate in the sexual | 4034 |
conduct; | 4035 |
(c) Physically communicating unwillingness to engage in the | 4036 |
sexual conduct. | 4037 |
(M) An accused's state of intoxication, if any, at the time | 4038 |
of an offense under this section occurs is not relevant to the | 4039 |
existence of a mistake of fact as to consent. | 4040 |
Sec. 5924.128. (A) Any person subject to this code who | 4041 |
attempts or offers with unlawful force or violence to do bodily | 4042 |
harm to another person, whether or not the attempt or offer is | 4043 |
consummated, is guilty of assault and shall be punished as a | 4044 |
court-martial may direct. | 4045 |

(1) Makes any claim against the United States, the state, or | 4071 |
any officer | 4072 |
