Airman sentenced in Macon murder case Published Jan. 17, 2013 By Robins Public Affairs ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- A Robins Airman pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced last week in a general court-martial. The sentence included a reduction to E-1, total forfeitures of all pay and allowances, a dishonorable discharge and confinement for life. Based on a pretrial agreement in the case, the maximum confinement he will have to serve is 40 years. Steven Holsey, a 689th Combat Communications Wing senior airman, entered a guilty plea at his court-martial to murder with intent to kill and obstruction of justice in connection with the shooting and killing of a civilian outside the Whiskey River nightclub in Macon in July 2011. Police said the altercation started inside the club and later spilled into the parking lot, where Holsey shot 20-year-old Anthony Harris Jr. The military requested and was granted jurisdiction over the case by Bibb County authorities. According to the Judge Advocates Office, the federal government routinely makes such requests "to maximize (its) jurisdiction over military members" involved in civilian criminal matters.
