Attorneys for Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira say he should spend eleven years in prison for leaking classified documents. 

Teixeira's lawyers say the 22-year-old Dighton resident is still essentially a child in requesting the eleven year term. 

Prosecutors say this was a major violation of the Espionage Act, and he should receive 16 and a half years behind bars for his guilty pleas. 

He will be sentenced November 11th for posting classified military documents to an Internet group.
