If his sentence is approved by the convening authority, Lakins case, because it includes dismissal, will be sent for automatic review by the Army Court of Criminal Appeals (ACCA), which has the authority to overturn his convictions.
Maj. Gen. Karl Horst, Lakin’s commanding general, could also grant Lakin clemency.
If the ACCA upholds Lakins convictions, he can appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (CAAF).
If the CAAF agrees to hear Lakins appeal but denies it, Lakin can appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, which rarely grants review for appeals of military justice system decisions.
I don’t imagine that Lakin will pursue many appeals, unless his attorney encourages him to do so.
