New decision on the soldier who leaked military documents in the US

Jack Teixeira appeared before a federal judge today in Worcester, Massachusetts.

In court, where he arrived dressed in an orange prison robe, Judge David Hennessy questioned Teixeira’s credibility, saying: “At this point, the evidence shows that the defendant has grossly violated his promise to protect the information and security of United States and its allies. .” he used the phrase.

Judge Hennessey ordered that Teixeira remain in custody without bail until the next hearing.

Teixeira’s lawyer asked that his client be kept under house arrest, while prosecutors demanded that the pending trial request be rejected on the grounds that the 21-year-old soldier could escape or take refuge in a foreign state.

Private Teixeira faces 25 years in prison if convicted.
