WHEELER ARMY AIRFIELD, Hawaii — A military jury convicted Army Spc. Christopher Shore of aggravated assault Wednesday in the killing of an Iraqi man last year.

A nine-member jury found Shore of Winder, Ga., not guilty of third-degree murder in the June 23 killing but guilty of the lesser offense.

Col. Donna Wright, who presided over the court-martial at Wheeler Army Airfield where Shore is based, pronounced the sentence Wednesday night after hearing another witness who had been flown in from Iraq to testify.

Shore was sentenced to 120 days in prison and a two-grade reduction in rank, said his attorney, Mike Waddington. He will serve his sentence in Hawaii and will be allowed to remain in military service, Waddington said.

Shore could have been sentenced to a maximum of eight years in prison, a dishonorable discharge and a drop to the Army’s lowest paygrade.
