X
in a pretrial hearing on now i guess is one while wednesday
basically talked about the horrible uh... circumstances of his incarceration
pretrial incarceration
scatterers elation twenty three hours a day
he said at some points he contemplated suicide but he knew there was a really
possible
at costco he was isolated in a six by eight foot cell
monitor consulate by guards in awaken periodically during the night
the remember at one point they held him
under sometime a class cation saying that they were afraid that he was gonna
commit suicide even though the
psychologists
who are in charge of essentially validating that
that label
and that type of of a cars regime said
not necessary
so
the conditions of is confined to the focus in the pretrial hearings
uh... where david comes his attorney
is argue that many was subject to unlawful pretrial conditions
skull the measures punitive and filed a motion asking the judge to dismiss the
charges or reduce any sentence that is rendered
he has already pled guilty
and the judge has now accepted those terms which could allow him to plead
guilty to lesser charges
uh... manning
would accept the responsibility
for providing classified material do we can leaks in exchange for maximum term
of sixteen years in prison
rather than an espionage charge that might ah...
might get him killed the by the state
he had no natural lightness l he was awakened two or three times a night when
he was on suicide watch
comes out of demonstrate the sizes cell by walking in through replica in the
courtroom
many also removed his army jacket put on the suicide smock in which he was forced
to sleep
whose for sleep naked
under this mock ferred nearly two months
after an incident where he said to his cards he could kill mso with his own to
where he wanted to do so
so
we all know that one of the reasons why or at least i should say we all know but
there was
there's intense and i think quite legitimate speculation
that they uh... work trying to break him so that he would some way implicate wiki
leak so that they could pursue their espionage charges
against uh... jillian assigned ch
and it seems that
there was no information that he could give them
that would validate surgically
uh... so much of this was
punitive ant
we all know
wiry jeans
subject prisoners uh... to this type of treatment
and it's not to get that confession out of them it's to get a false confession
anyone who works in that field will tell you that
so uh... this hearing is ongoing
