Major
developments came out of the case against PFC Bradley Manning this
week after attorneys for the accused WikiLeaks source offered a
military court a plea notice on behalf of the defendant.
Manning, a 24-year-old Army soldier, is facing life in prison if convicted for a whole slew of charges relating to accusations that he sent WikiLeaks sensitive files that were then published online.
On Wednesday, defense counsel David Coombs said Manning would plead guilty to various offenses through a process known as "pleading by exceptions and substitutions."
Although PFC Manning isn't pleading guilty to the charges presented by the government, Coombs says he is willing to accept some responsibility.
Josh Gerstein of POLITICO breaks down the latest in the case against PFC Manning and offers updates in the ongoing sage involving WikiLeaks and founder Julian Assange.
