Did the introduction of Herrera's testimony violate Manning's right to counsel?

Manning was arrested and jailed in 1990 in the Cook County (Illinois) jail on kidnapping charges relating to a crime committed in Missouri. Manning was also a suspect in an Illinois murder, and the FBI planted a government informant in his cell to try to collect evidence about the Illinois crimes. Thex informant's agreement specified that he was not to elicit any information about Manning's pending Missouri charges. The informant disobeyed these orders and did talk about the Missouri charges; he agreed to help Manning fabricate an alibi defense using the informant's girlfriend, Sylvia Herrera. The FBI then met with Herrera to go over what information she should attempt to elicit from Manning. Pursuant to her agreement with the FBI, Herrera began to record her conversations with Manning. She testified extensively about her work as a government informant and the plan to fabricate an alibi defense. Manning was charged by complaint rather than indictment, was convicted of kidnapping, and received two life sentences. What will be an ideal response?
