Manning's Defense Team Rests
Rebuttal witnesses come next week
The defense has rested its case in the court-martial of Pfc. Bradley Manning, who leaked loads of classified information to the website WikiLeaks.
Lawyers for the soldier rested their case Wednesday. Manning is contesting 21 charges, including aiding the enemy, which carries a possible life sentence.
He has acknowledged giving the anti-secrecy group hundreds of thousands of battlefield reports and State Department cables while working as an intelligence analyst in Iraq. He says he wanted to expose wrongdoing.
