Update: Manning Verdict Expected Tuesday

Updated: (12:15 p.m. Monday) - A judge in the court martial of Pfc. Bradley Manning continued to deliberate on Monday, and is expected to deliver a verdict Tuesday.

Judge Col. Denise Lind was in her third day of deliberations, and indicated she would provide 24 hours notice before handing down a verdict in the case against the accused Wikileaks source. 

Lind said she will read the verdict Tuesday at 1 p.m., according to several reporters on the scene at Fort Meade. 

Manning is a former army intelligence analyst who has acknowledged sending thousands of pieces of classified information to the anti-secrecy website. The most serious charge against Manning, a count of aiding the enemy, could lead to a life sentence. 

Manning has garnered considerable support among activists who say he played an important role in uncovering details about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
