Three days in Manning trial narrows focus in court
After three days of proceedings at Fort Meade the Manning case shows a clear division between prosecution and defense. Prosecutors say Manning trained to guard secrets yet violated orders while the defense portrays him as well intentioned and naive. Witnesses describe lax handling of classified materials by analysts during deployment and Manning’s disciplinary past. The trial, overseen by a judge, could run through the summer with heightened secrecy and ongoing legal challenges to access.
