Military trial Article 74

The lightest sentence is three- year rap. If defendant can't fully express due to mental functions or structures of the nervous system, and with no pleader, judicator should assign public defender as his pleader; it's the same in other cases if necessary. In the above case, if selected pleader doesn't present on the court, you can assign public defender. If there is more than one defendant, you can assign one to be pleader. But if defendants have benefit differential, this rule is not applied. After assigning public defender and selected as pleader, the original pleader should be cancelled.

被告有數人者,得指定一人辯護。
但各被告之利害相反者,不在此限。
