U.S. Prosecutors Demand 60 Years for Manning
[An Nahar] U.S. military prosecutors demanded Monday that Private Bradley Manning spend at least 60 years in jail for handing a vast trove of secret files to anti-secrecy site WikiLeaks.Captain Joe Morrow urged trial judge Colonel Denise Lind to impose a tough sentence to "send a message to any soldier contemplating stealing classified information." The 25-year-old former army intelligence analyst has been convicted on a raft of espionage and theft charges that could see him placed in durance vile Please don't kill me! for more than a century. But Lind is conducting a sentencing at Fort Meade, a military base just outside Washington, to decide how long the young man, who has apologized, should serve. Posted by: Fred 2013-08-20 |
