What Steps Should You Take?
The first step after a conviction is requesting clemency. The Convening Authority can then decide if they want to reduce the sentence or even set aside the sentence entirely.
Next, you set up the appeal with the correct court, depending on the branch of the military in which you serve. The Uniform Code of Military Justice governs this process. Below are the five courts of appeals:
- Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces
- Army Court of Criminal Appeals
- Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals
- Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals
- Coast Guard Court of Criminal Appeals
Finally, with all military appeals, you do have a right to an attorney. The military can appoint one for you, but you may drastically increase your chances of success by hiring your own counsel.
