§949o Record of Trial

Summary

Each military commission must keep a separate, word-for-word record of what happens in each case. The military judge must sign the record to confirm it. If the judge cannot sign because of death, disability, or absence, the trial counsel must sign. If the trial counsel cannot sign for the same reasons, a member of the commission must sign. The record can include a classified annex when appropriate under regulations from the Secretary of Defense. A complete record of the proceedings and testimony must be made. After the record is signed, a copy must be given to the accused right away. If it contains classified information or a classified annex, the accused gets a redacted copy that follows subchapter V. Defense counsel may access the full unredacted record as allowed by regulations the Secretary of Defense issues.
