"Appellant’s case is before this court for the sixth time" begins the current decision in United States v.

In United States v. Bousman, the court discusses Assault with a Dangerous Weapon and Simple Assault as an LIO. Bousman was convicted (MJA) of one specification of resisting apprehension, one specification of failure to obey a lawful order, one specification of controlling a motor vehicle while drunk, one specification of wrongfully using provoking language, one specification of assault with a dangerous weapon, and three specifications of simple assault. The military judge sentenced Appellant to a bad-conduct discharge, confinement for 15 months, reduction to the grade of E-1, and a reprimand. Specification 4 of Charge I alleged Appellant: “did, at or near Cannon [AFB], New Mexico, on or about 6 June 2020, with the intent to inflict bodily harm, commit an assault upon [GM] . . . by attempting to stab him with a dangerous weapon to wit: a knife.” The military judge announced the following finding as to Specification 4 of Charge I: “Not Guilty of the charged offense of assault with a dangerous weapon, but Guilty of the lesser included offense of simple assault.” Appellant contends the simple assault of which the military judge convicted him was not a proper lesser included offense of the charged aggravated assault under Article 128, UCMJ, and the conviction must be set aside. We disagree.
