1. No person may be convicted of an
offense, except by the concurrence of two-thirds of the members present at the
time the vote is taken.
2. All sentences shall be determined by
the concurrence of two-thirds of the members present at the time that the vote
is taken.
3. All other questions to be decided by
the members of a general or special court-martial shall be determined by a
majority vote, but a determination to reconsider a finding of guilty or to
reconsider a sentence, with a view toward decreasing it, may be made by voice
and by any lesser vote which indicates that the reconsideration is not opposed
by the number of votes required for finding or sentence. A tie vote on a
challenge disqualifies the member challenged. A tie vote on a motion for a
finding of not guilty or on a motion relating to the question of the accuseds
sanity is a determination against the accused. A tie vote on any other question
is a determination in favor of the accused.
