In Bradley Manning case, Judge Lind prefers to keep low profile but ruling may have big impact

By Billy Kenber
Published: July 24

... Lisa Schenck, associate dean for academic affairs at the George Washington University Law School, where Lind teaches, said ... “She’ll go through every bit of evidence and every element of proof, and she will be 100 percent sure that the government meets its burden” ...

... Her only previous brush with public attention came in 2010, when she presided over the case of Col. Terrence Lakin ...

Schenck said Lind has already been informed that she will take up a new position, as a judge on the U.S. Army Court of Criminal Appeals, when the Manning trial ends. And she said Lind will not be swayed by the politics of the case.

“She’s oblivious to the media,” Schenck said. “She’s not afraid to do the right thing. If the guy was not guilty, she would acquit him.”
