Court Rules Civilians Attached to U S Forces May Face Court Martial
U S District Judge Holtzoff ruled that civilian personnel attached to the U S armed forces may be subjected to court martial under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. He cited limited Supreme Court guidance and referenced a Tampa case where a civilian was convicted of grand larceny and sentenced to three years. The decision distinguishes civilians from servicemen and families in military jurisdiction and notes that the law is necessary to enforce military governance.
