European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - April 5, 1968, Darmstadt, Hesse                              Army s travelling judges f continued from pay 11 Sibili ties is As simple As it  Wright we have to make  unlike a civilian court where the jury determines the verdict and the judge fixes the sentence in a military court the panel decides both on guilt or inno Cence and on the sentence. This places a heavy importance on the Law officer instructing the court lucidly on the alternatives it May have. I1 or example if a defendant is found guilty in a slaying the panel the military equivalent of a civilian jury would have to Rule whether it is out and out homicide aggravated As Sault involuntary manslaughter Volun tary manslaughter accidental shooting Etc. Thus the importance of making the panel understand its choices takes on a greater significance As the various alternatives have prescribed limits of punishment. It boils Down to this the fairness with which a defendant s Case is treated ultimately May come Down to the Law officer s skill and clarity in instruct  the men who determine the Fate of the accused. Such clarity is not casually arrived at As Wright explained it is Standard procedure for a Law officer to prepare notes in Advance for instructing the panel then to let the defense an trial counsel see those notes to pre clude possible disputes. Further it behoves Law officers to anticipate perplexing questions of Law that a Given trial might raise in order that he is not caught with his Law books Down. So it was that Wright knew in and Vance that Belli would attempt in the Wood trial to introduce the theory Ofa new and efficient intervening cause of death As a defense. Having done his Homework Wright was Able to de liver a decision on the Legal admissibility of the defense s proposed line of questioning by the following morning in court. Europe s four circuit Riding judges Are representatives of a Legal innovation utilized by the army and Navy but not by the air Force some eight years old in which these travelling Law offi cers Deal solely with general courts martial felony cases chief advantage of the system is to relieve the pressure which formerly rested on the second Man in the local staff judge advocate s office the executive officer. A second delicate advantage is that the travelling judge s Independence of local authority helps avoid any appearance of pressure being brought to ear on the court in any particular  remarked r As a practical matter we re answerable locally to  for All the talk of flitting about the continent and beyond in the interests of dispensing Justice the Law office profession is not a Fly by night every night  moving into the system late last summer Wright for instance has been to Berlin twice Augsburg once Mannheim twice otherwise operating out of his court at Kelley Barracks. In addition to needing at least a Trace of wanderlust the practitioners of Juris prudence occasionally May require Anice sense of the comic. Several years a of when the Wrigh family was living in Okinawa mrs. Wright was caught slightly exceeding the Speed limit on the Island s main Road and her Case came before  did not begin at Home he sentenced her to 30 Days of shining his shoes illustrating that lawmen need not be humourless and lacking a Sens of proportion.
