Assange Trial Live

Day 2 cont.

I will save you the bulk of the legal dry-heave taking place.

The attorney for the U.S. government just said that Julian Assange's publications had nothing to do with journalism.

She said they are "grave and serious crimes".

(apparently forgetting that they were improperly classified documents and video to begin with, in order to hide monumental evidence of U.S. war crimes including the gunning down and murdering of women, children, and reporters as U.S. troops laughed.)

The U.S argument continues to be detached from reality and the facts of the case.

The judge has asked for Manning's sentencing remarks.
