Bradley Manning guilty, but not of treason

Reality Check: Bradley Manning verdict, Zimbabwe elections

He was guilty, but not of treason: that was the verdict of Colonel Denise Lind, the judge in the military trial of Bradley Manning. She found the man behind the Wikileaks scandal not guilty of aiding the enemy, but convicted him on 19 other lesser charges.

Bradley Manning will not face life imprisonment without parole, but could nevertheless be sentenced to up to 136 years in prison.
