Democracy Now: Military Judge Rejects Dismissal of Manning Charges, Sets Trial Date
A military judge has rejected a defense request to dismiss all charges against alleged Army whistleblower Private Bradley Manning. On Wednesday, Colonel Denise Lind rejected Manning attorney claims of “prosecutorial misconduct” and set a trial date for September 21. Manning faces up to life imprisonment for allegedly leaking classified documents that ended up on the whistleblowing website WikiLeaks.
