Which of the following is not a right of an accused member during a court-martial?

In a court-martial, an accused member has several fundamental rights intended to ensure a fair legal process. The right to legal representation allows the accused to have an attorney present to defend them against the charges. The right to refuse testimony protects the accused from self-incrimination, ensuring that they cannot be compelled to testify against themselves. The right to a fair trial is a cornerstone of military justice, ensuring that the accused is provided due process in the adjudication of their case.

The ability to change the charges, however, is not a right granted to the accused. Charges are typically determined and filed by military prosecutors, and any amendments or modifications to those charges must be initiated by the prosecution or through appropriate legal procedures. The accused does not have the authority to unilaterally alter the charges against them, which underscores that this option is not recognized as a right in the court-martial process. Thus, it is clear why this option is the one that does not belong in the context of the rights afforded to an accused member during a court-martial.
