I heard that, with time off for good behavior, Manning could be freed in as little as nine years.

He also can earn time off at a rate as high as 120 days for each year of good behavior.

This is not an opinion on Manning or the trial. It is just a recitation of what was reported in the media as simple fact.

1. I hope he gets out at least that soon. I would support a commutation on Obama's last day in office n

3. Bradley Manning

I also read that it could be 7 years that Manning could be released. It was computed that Manning has over 1200 days that he has already served & also the days he was in solitary confinement would also be included. It was a comment posted on DU earlier that Manning would be eligible for parole after 1/3 of his time has been served & then factor in time for good behavior. I would love it if President Obama would commute his sentence at the end of his presidency.
