Because of the 1,294 days he has already spent in custody, Manning will immediately shave three and a half years off his 35-year term. He is eligible for parole after serving at least one-third of the sentence, which means he could be free in eight years, when he's 33 or 34 years old. However, his lawyer said seven years could be all he serves.
Before I was taking a hard line on Manning but now I think eight years would not be unreasonable. I think he knows he really, really fucked up.
