Civilian counsel court martial lawyer

UCMJ
Section 863. Art. 63. Rehearings
Each rehearing under this chapter shall take place before a
court-martial composed of members not members of the courtmartial
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 approved, 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. If the sentence
approved after the first court-martial was in accordance with a pretrial agreement and the accused at the hearing changes his plea with respect to the charges or specifications
upon which the pretrial agreement was based, or otherwise does
not comply with the pretrial agreement, the approved sentence as
to those charges or specifications may include any punishment
not in excess of that lawfully adjudged at the first court-martial.
