LACKLAND AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFPN) --  Capt. Barry Brown was sentenced to 18 years in prison for pleading guilty to attempted premeditated murder, conspiracy to commit premeditated murder and for violating a lawful general regulation by wrongful fraternization.

Captain Brown, a lawyer assigned to the 37th Training Wing here, pleaded guilty to all charges before his sentencing hearing began Sept. 13. He also received a dismissal from the Air Force and will lose all military benefits.

Staff Sgt. Ramona Greiner, a paralegal assigned to his office, faces similar charges in a court martial Sept. 20. According to the charges, their relationship led to hiring someone to kill Captain Brown’s wife.

Captain Brown will serve his sentence at the military disciplinary barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.
