• Bradley Manning faces a maximum possible sentence of more than 130 years in military jail after he was found guilty of most of the charges he faced. Colonel Denise Lind, the military judge presiding over Manning's court martial, found the whistleblower not guilty on the most serious charge of aiding the enemy, but the theft and espionage charges that Manning has been convicted on carry sobering prison terms.

• Manning was also found not guilty of having leaked an encrypted copy of a video of a US air strike in the Farah province of Aghanistan in which many civilians died. Manning's defence team had argued vociferously that he was not the source of this video, though the soldier did admit to later disclosure of an unencrypted version of the video and related documents.

• In a statement to the Guardian, Manning's family expressed "deep thanks" to his civilian lawyer, David Coombs, who has worked on the case for three years. They added: "While we are obviously disappointed in today's verdicts, we are happy that Judge Lind agreed with us that Brad never intended to help America's enemies in any way. Brad loves his country and was proud to wear its uniform."

• The Manning verdict, and his entire trial, has been criticised by human rights groups including the ACLU and Amnesty International. "It seems clear that the government was seeking to intimidate anyone who might consider revealing valuable information in the future," said ACLU director Ben Wizner. Julian Assange, who struck up a relationship with Manning as the private leaked information, said the espionage conviction set a "dangerous precedent".

• The sentencing hearing is due to begin on Wednesday. The defence and prosecution lawyers will both call new witnesses during this phase. Coombs is likely to present evidence that Manning was in a fragile emotional state at the time he began leaking and was struggling with issues over his sexuality. The defence argued in pre-trial hearings that Manning was offered very little support or counselling from his superiors at Forward Operating Base Hammer outside Baghdad.
