United States Court of Military Appeals January 8, 1971, No. 22,810 (United States v. Walker)

Opinion of the Court

Quinn, Chief Judge:

On the night of January 20, 1968, the accused shot and killed his “best friend,” Private First Class James F. Wright. A general court-martial convened in the Republic of Vietnam found him guilty of premeditated murder. The findings of guilty were reduced to unpremeditated murder by the United States Army Court of Military Review.
