If the convening authority disapproves the findings and sentence of a court-martial that authority may, except where there is lack of sufficient evidence in the record to support the findings, order a rehearing. In such a case the convening authority shall state the reasons for disapproval. If he disapproves the findings and sentence and does not order a rehearing, the convening authority shall dismiss the charges.\n2. Each rehearing shall take place before a court-martial composed of members not members of the court-martial which first heard the case. Upon a rehearing the accused shall not be tried for any offense of which he was found not guilty by the first court-martial, and no sentence in excess of or more severe than the original sentence may be imposed, unless the sentence is based upon a finding of guilty of an offense not considered upon the merits in the original proceedings, or unless the sentence prescribed for the offense is mandatory.","path":["Title V - MILITARY AFFAIRS AND POLICE","Chapter 40 - Military Justice"],"source_url":"https://revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=40.198","current_through":"2026 legislative session (floor)","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-03T22:23:24Z","sha256":"a102c8226318ae903fa158045ae637627863afc4299f627b89c30ffdb2b353e1","source_id":"us-mo","stale":false,"prev":"us-mo/mo.-rev.-stat.-40.195","next":"us-mo/mo.-rev.-stat.-40.200"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
