Section 130.41. Challenges  


Latest version.
  • (a) The military judge and members of a general
      or  special  court-martial may be challenged by the accused or the trial
      counsel for cause stated to the court.  The military judge, or, if none,
      the court, shall determine the relevancy and validity of challenges  for
      cause,  and  shall  not receive a challenge to more than one person at a
      time.  Challenges by the trial counsel shall ordinarily be presented and
      decided before those by the accused are offered.
        (b) Each accused and trial counsel shall be entitled to one peremptory
      challenge, but the military judge shall not  be  challenged  except  for
      cause,  and  if  the president of a special court-martial is a member of
      the bar of this state, he shall not be challenged except for cause.
