Speedy Trial Update

On 9 January 2011, the defense filed a demand for speedy trial with the Government.  PFC Manning has been in pretrial confinement since 29 May 2010.  Since 12 July 2010, the case has been on Government requested excludable delay under R.C.M. 707(c).   This delay request by the Government was approved by the court-martial convening authority.

The case is currently awaiting the start of a Rule for Courts-Martial (R.C.M) 706 Board.  This board will likely begin its work in February.
