I have new evidence to present that was not presented in my court-martial, can I get a new trial?

By: William Cassara

Yes. Article 73 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice states that at any time within 2 years of the convening authority approving a court-martial sentence, an accused can petition The Judge Advocate General (TJAG) for a new court-martial on the basis of newly discovered evidence or fraud on the court. If your case is already pending before a Court of Criminal Appeals or before the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, TJAG will refer the request to that court, otherwise he or she must act on the request.
