Bradley Manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison (reportedly eligible for parole in seven) for leaking classified documents to WikiLeaks, and many celebs took to Twitter to defend him:

Wondering if there were many celebs tweeting that Manning got what he deserved? We were wondering the same thing, but at this point haven’t found any. It’s a rare day indeed when we don’t see any celebs backing up President Obama’s side of the issue.
