La. Admin. Code tit. 41 § II-411

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 8, August 20, 2024
Section II-411 - Waiver of Court-Martial and Hearing and Submission of Matters
A. If the service member waives both court-martial and an Article 15 hearing but submits matters orally or in writing in defense, extenuation, or mitigation, the commander must consider these matters before deciding whether to impose non-judicial punishment. If the matters persuade the commander that the service member is not guilty or that there is some other valid reason for not punishing the service member, the commander simply terminates the Article 15 proceeding. If, after considering the matters, the commander is still convinced that the service member is guilty and that non-judicial punishment is appropriate, the commander proceeds to impose punishment.
