Supreme Court limits civilian military trials abroad
The Supreme Court ruled peacetime court martial trials cannot be held for civilians overseas, overturning convictions of three civilian employees and a civilian dependent. Justice Clark said such trials violated the constitutional right to trial by jury, expanding the 1957 ruling on two women in capital cases. One Army official warned civilian personnel abroad equal or exceed military numbers. The court suggested handling civilians by integrating them into the armed forces, either by induction or voluntary enlistment.
