Bradley Manning Pretrial Hearing Concludes

HeadlineDec 23, 2011

The pretrial military hearing for alleged Army whistleblower Bradley Manning has concluded after six days. Manning faces life in prison, and possibly death, for allegedly leaking classified video and diplomatic cables to WikiLeaks. In closing arguments, the defense said the government had failed to properly address Manning’s emotional state, while the prosecution argued the WikiLeaks disclosures had helped al-Qaeda. The presiding officer will now have at least three weeks to decide whether Manning is to stand trial.
