United States v. Jackson

LatimeR, Judge

(concurring in the result) :

I concur in the result.

Although the evidence is sufficient to support the offense found by the court-martial, the law officer’s failure to instruct on the lesser offense of involuntary manslaughter, which was in issue, requires reversal as to the accused Jackson. However, I believe the board of review may properly affirm a conviction of involuntary manslaughter, or order a rehearing, as to Jackson.
