"The U.S. soldier who sprinted into North Korea across the heavily fortified border between the Koreas two months ago was released into American custody Wednesday, according to two officials.
Earlier, North Korea said it would expel Pvt. Travis King — an announcement that surprised some observers who had expected the North to drag out his detention in the hopes of squeezing concessions from Washington at a time of high tensions between the rivals.
King’s expulsion almost certainly does not end his troubles or ensure the sort of celebratory homecoming that has accompanied the releases of other detained Americans."

I am actually surprised they let him go but he's a private who was already getting chaptered out so probably figured he was of no use to them.
I do wonder what he was thinking when he did this. All he did was add more charges for himself. Instead of just quietly getting chaptered out like multiple other soldiers who do what he did...now he'll forever be known as the private who jumped the border into North Korea.
