Manning had an immunity deal to testify in front of a grand jury and refused to do so, leading to the contempt of court charge that currently has her in jail.&lt;p&gt;She says she doesn&amp;#x27;t believe in the concept of being compelled to testify, which is fine, but the penalty for that is jail.</text></comment>
