Fort Meade:
A military judge says she expects to announce a verdict on Tuesday in the court-martial of Army private Bradley Manning charged with aiding the enemy for giving US secrets to WikiLeaks.
Colonel Denise Lind gave the heads-up notice today, her third day of deliberations in the trial of Manning at Fort Meade. Manning faces a possible life sentence if convicted of the charge.
The 25-year-old also faces 20 other counts, including espionage, computer fraud and theft for admittedly sending hundreds of thousands of classified documents and some battlefield video to the anti-secrecy website while working as an intelligence analyst in Iraq.
In closing arguments last week, the defense portrayed Manning as a naive whistleblower who wanted to expose war crimes. Prosecutors call him an anarchist hacker and a traitor.
