14 November 2018
Corporal Richard Graham was convicted on appeal in January ... for charges relating to burglary, offering to supply drugs, possession of a psychoactive product and possession of a controlled drug.
Today, the 33-year-old war veteran - who was wounded in action - was again sentenced to six months' community detention and 12 months' supervision in the Waitakere District Court.
His offending occurred in September 2016, when he was living and working at the Whenuapai Air Force base.
Graham took laptops and operationally sensitive items worth 200-thousand dollars.
He has a history of significant depressive symptoms and trauma-related symptoms after his war-based deployment.
