SAN ANTONIO -- The punishment for another Lackland training instructor accused of sexual misconduct has been decided. Tech Sargeant Christopher Smith received a reduction in rank to Airman First Class and thirty days confinement. We're told it was quiet in the courtroom when the punishment was given. 33 year old Smith was found guilty Tuesday for trying to have unprofessional relationships with two basic trainees. During this punishment phase, a military spokesman said Smith made a statement and was emotional asking the jury to consider his children. This morning, the jury of seven began its deliberation for his punishment. Smith is one of fifteen instructors at Lackland that were implicated.
