192A.29 Record of trial.

Subdivision 1. Each general and special court-martial shall keep a verbatim record of the proceedings and testimony in each case brought before it, and the record shall be authenticated by the signature of the military judge. If the record cannot be authenticated by the military judge by reason of the military judge's death, disability, or absence, it shall be authenticated by the signature of the trial counsel or by that of a member if the trial counsel is unable to authenticate it by reason of the trial counsel's death, disability, or absence. In a court-martial consisting of only a military judge, the record shall be authenticated by the court reporter under the same conditions which would impose such a duty on a member under this subdivision. If the proceedings have resulted in an acquittal of all charges and specifications or, if not affecting an officer, in a sentence not including discharge and not in excess of that which may otherwise be adjudged by a special court-martial, the record shall contain such matters as may be prescribed by rules of the governor. A copy of the record of the proceedings of each general and special court-martial shall be given to the accused as soon as it is authenticated.

Subd. 2. Each summary court-martial shall keep a separate record of the proceedings in each case, and the record shall contain the matter and shall be authenticated in the manner required by such rules as the governor may prescribe.
