CAAF: United States v. Voorhees, No. 18-0372/AF


Listen Later

Argued on February 21, 2019


Issues:

I. Whether the AFCCA erred in finding no plain error despite trial  counsel’s argument on findings that personally attacked appellant and  trial defense counsel, commented on Appellant’s silence, expressed his  personal opinions, bolstered his own credibility, vouched for government  witnesses, speculated, and made reference to facts not in evidence.

II. Whether the AFCCA erred in finding  that the specifications alleging violations of Article 133, UCMJ, stated  an offense despite the fact that they lack words of criminality or a  mens rea.

III. Whether plain error occurred when  the military judge failed to instruct the members that mens rea was an  element of an offense under Article 133.
