Bradley Manning Offers to Plead Guilty to Partial Charges
• http://news.antiwar.com, by John GlaserThe lesser charges are ones “that the judge could agree upon if there is no evidence for the more severe charges,” reports Kevin Gosztola. “Pleading to lesser-included offenses makes it possible to not plea to committing offenses under the Espionage Act or Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). Importantly, he can plead guilty without accepting the government’s charge that he ‘aided the enemy’ or ‘exceeded authorized access’ on his computer.”
