United States v. Schmidt

FLETCHER, Chief Judge

(concurring in the result):

I concur that the appellant’s inquiry about sentencing was not a concession of guilt,1 and vote to affirm the decision of the United States Navy Court of Military Review.

. It is, therefore, unnecessary to consider the effect of the statement on the judge’s continuing role as a finder of fact under para. 53d (2), Manual for Courts-Martial, United States, 1969 (Revised edition), or his failure on the record to inform counsel of the hearing.
