Chelsea Manning released from jail with expiration of grand jury
I didn't realize this about US law but if you've already been convicted of a crime OR they give you immunity you can be forced to testify.<p>They did this in Aaron Swartz's case and gave people immunity to force them to testify.<p>I was friends with Aaron and felt that he was mostly a hero in this situation though he was probably guilty of misdemeanor trespass.<p>It was troubling to see how upset it made my friends that they were going to be forced to testify against someone they loved or were friends with.
