Judge agrees to reduce maximum sentence for Manning to 90 years

Convicted WikiLeaks source Bradley Manning will now face a maximum sentence of 90 years in prison after his judge agreed to merge some of the 20 offenses he was...

found guilty of last week.

Manning, a 25-year-old private first class in the United States Army, was convicted last Tuesday for his role in releasing hundreds of thousands of classified documents to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks, in turn landing him a maximum sentence of 136 years behind bars. This Tuesday, however, the judge in the case agreed to combine some of those offenses, drastically dropping the range of time that could be served by more than four decades.

Nathan Fuller of the Bradley Manning Support Network has been covering the court-martial and announced Col. Denise Lind's ruling from Ft. Meade, Maryland early Tuesday over Twitter.
