§ 33-13-413. Initial review and disposition of records.
If the convening authority is the Governor, his action on the review of any record of trial is final, subject to review by the Mississippi Court of Military Appeals. In all other cases not covered by subsection (1) of this section, if the sentence of a special court-martial as approved by the convening authority includes a bad conduct discharge, whether or not suspended, the entire record shall be sent to the appropriate judge advocate of the state military forces concerned to be reviewed in the same manner as a record of trial by general court-martial. The record and the opinion of the judge advocate shall then be sent to the state judge advocate for review. All other special and summary court-martial records shall be sent to the judge advocate of the appropriate force of the state military forces and shall be acted upon, transmitted, and disposed of as may be prescribed by regulations prescribed by the Governor. The state judge advocate shall review the record of trial in each case sent to him for review as provided under subsection (2) of this section. If the final action of the court-martial has resulted in an acquittal of all charges and specifications, the opinion of the state judge advocate is limited to questions of jurisdiction. The state judge advocate shall take final action in any case reviewable by him.
