62 - In re B.M. and Starting Your Sentencing Argument

The Judge Advocate General for the Navy certified two questions to the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces following the N-MCCA's denial of a victim's petition for a writ of mandamus.  The CAAF doesn't answer either question, but makes it clear that a victim does not have standing to challenge how, or whether, her alleged assailant is prosecuted.  We also hear from Major Crouch with thoughts on starting strong in your sentencing arguments.
