Fort Meade, Maryland (CNN) -- [breaking news update at 10:39 a.m. ET]

Bradley Manning showed little to no reaction when he was sentenced Wednesday to serve 35 years in prison.

As the former Army intelligence analyst was hustled out of the military court in Fort Meade, Maryland, some spectators screamed, "We're still here fighting for you Bradley!" and "We love you Bradley!" An aunt and a cousin of Manning's wept openly and wiped tears.

(CNN) -- A military judge on Wednesday morning sentenced Army Pfc. Bradley Manning to 35 years in prison.

In addition, his rank is being reduced from private first class to private, and he will forfeit all pay and benefits and be dishonorably discharged.

The former Army intelligence analyst was convicted in July of stealing 750,000 pages of classified documents and videos and disseminating them to WikiLeaks.
