# 10 U.S.C. § 859 - Art. 59. Error of law; lesser included offense
|
|
|
|
## Text
|
|
|
|
(a) A finding or sentence of a court-martial may not be held incorrect on the ground of an error of law unless the error materially prejudices the substantial rights of the accused.
|
|
|
|
(b) Any reviewing authority with the power to approve or affirm a finding of guilty may approve or affirm, instead, so much of the finding as includes a lesser included offense.
|
|
|
|
(Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 57.)
