7:21Now PlayingBradley Manning apologized for leaking classified documents to WikiLeaks during his sentencing hearing on Wednesday. Manning faces up to 90 years in prison after being convicted last month on 20 counts. He said"I am sorry for the unintended consequences of my actions. When I made these decisions, I believed I was going to help people, not hurt people." Manning added, "I understood what I was doing and the decisions I made. However, I did not truly appreciate the broader effects of my actions. Those effects are clearer to me now through both selfreflection during my confinement in its various forms and through the merits and sentencing testimony that I have seen here." An Army psychologist who analyzed Manning while he served in Iraq also testified Wednesday, along with a clinical psychologist who spent 21 hours examining Manning after his arrest. Manning's sister and aunt also both took the stand to deliver emotional testimony about his childhood. We speak to reporter Alexa O'Brien who was in the courtroom and has closely covered the Manning trial. "Bradley Manning is more of a moral character, than he is a political one," O'Brien says.
