Update: King pleaded not guilty to desertion, assault of non commissioned officer, and three counts of willfully disobeying a superior officer. King explained in court his actions of desertion and explained that he had decided to leave the army permanently a couple of months before the incident.

U.S. Army Private Travis King, the soldier who crossed into North Korea last year, is expected to plead guilty to multiple charges at a court-martial hearing at Fort Bliss today, according to his attorney.
