Manning attorney vows to fight on, urges Obama to issue pardon Aug 21st 2013, 19:50, by Chris Kanaracus Former Army Pfc. Bradley Manning may have been handed a 35-year prison sentence on Wednesday for leaking classified documents, but "his fight is not over" and he could be free much sooner, according to Manning attorney David Coombs. Manning's sentence could be reduced through a clemency process, and he also plans to file an appeal of the conviction, Coombs said during a press conference on Wednesday a few hours after the sentence was rendered by a military court judge. There's another potential avenue for Manning as well, Coombs said: "Hopefully, the president does the right thing and those options are ruled out because he pardons him or releases him with time served." Manning, who has also been dishonorably discharged from the Army, had faced a maximum of 90 years in prison on charges related to his leaking of a massive store of classified documents to Wikileaks in 2009 and 2010.
