     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.
