A military jury has sentenced a Fort Wainwright based soldier in the death of a fellow Stryker brigade member. Sgt. Adam Holcomb of Youngstown, Ohio will forfeit about $1,200 in pay, have his rank reduced, and serve 30 days in confinement. He was convicted yesterday in Ft. Bragg North Carolina of maltreatment of a subordinate, and assault, in the death of Private Danny Chen last year in Afghanistan. Holcomb was found not guilty of negligent homicide.
