91 - US v Johnson; US v. Thomas; and Objecting to the Permissive Inference

In today's episode we discuss two cases from the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces:  United States v. Johnson, which cements the conclusion that military appellate courts will not correct an erroneous indorsement to the Statement of Trial Results or Entry of Judgment requiring firearm prohibitions; and United States v. Thomas, which discusses the burdens on the defense and government under Batson v. Kentucky . . . even though it is not at all clear that that case applies to the facts of this case.  We then hear from Allen Abrams on the "permissive inference" and when and how to object to it.
