Manning 'Guilty' on Most Counts, Faces 100 Years in Prison

Pfc. Bradley Manning, the army whistleblower who exposed egregious U.S. war crimes after revealing military documents to the website WikiLeaks, has been found guilty of almost all of his charges in a military court in Fort Meade, Maryland and could face a maximum of more than 100 years in jail.

On Tuesday, Judge Col. Denise Lind found Manning not guilty of his most severe charge, “aiding the enemy,” which supporters had feared because it held the potential for “life in prison.” However, Manning’s other charges, which include multiple charges under the Espionage Act, potentially hold the same sentence cumulatively.

Manning’s official sentencing phase begins Wednesday morning at 9:30 EST.
