In such a case he shall state the reasons for disapproval. If he disapproves the findings and sentence and does not order a rehearing, he shall dismiss the charges.\nEach 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 may 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 25 - MILITARY, CIVIL DEFENSE AND VETERANS AFFAIRS","CHAPTER 1 Military Code","ARTICLE 19 Code of Military Justice for the National Guard"],"source_url":"https://www.scstatehouse.gov/code/t25c001.php","current_through":"2025 Session of the General Assembly","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-02T06:53:39Z","sha256":"35701f0b78d26b354b0eae2e1d42a23d4682211bba4bf8454a231c05116713ea","source_id":"us-sc","stale":false,"prev":"us-sc/s.c.-code-ann.-25-1-2825","next":"us-sc/s.c.-code-ann.-25-1-2835"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
