Manning has maximum sentence cut
A military judge has reduced US army whistleblower Bradley Manning’s maximum possible sentence in the WikiLeaks case to 90 years in prison.
Manning had faced up to 136 years after he was convicted of charges related to his disclosure of classified information to the anti-secrecy website, but the judge, Army Colonel Denise Lind, found during his sentencing hearing that a number of the charges refer to the same actions and were duplicative for sentencing purposes.
