FORT MEADE, Mich., Feb. 26 (UPI) -- A request to dismiss charges against Pfc. Bradley Manning in the mass disclosure of secrets by WikiLeaks was denied Tuesday at his Fort Meade, Md., trial.
Manning's lawyers filed a motion to dismiss all charges, arguing the government had violated his right to a speedy trial, but judge Col. Denise Lind noted the case took only 90 days to come to trial, well within the 120-day rule that exists for a court martial, a reference to the time between pre-trial confinement and arraignment.
