Breanna Manning verdict
According to CNN, Manning was found not guilty of aiding the enemy (even though the prosecution proved it to me) but he was found guilty of most of the other charges;
A military court has found Pfc. Bradley Manning, accused of the largest leak of classified information in U.S. history, not guilty of aiding the enemy — a charge that would have carried a maximum sentence of life in prison. He was found guilty of most of the remaining charges against him, with the judge accepting some of the guilty pleas he made previously to lesser charges.
But I want to hear a number.
509th Bob sends a link to Politico which reports;
If convicted on all charges apart from aiding the enemy, Manning faced a potential sentence of up to 154 years.
I guess, at this point, that’s too much to ask for.

I kinda like “early release due to death in the inmates personal body”
Something from a witness at Manning’s trial:
