Understood. Just stating what I saw in the video. There may be more to the story than what we're hearing - and there often is.
That’s my thought too. If it was a set-up, than he was probably told what to confess to. I’ve read more about this story - he confessed to being a stooge for the administration (I’d cry too) and working on their behalf.
We have no idea what he went through before the trial. Must be total hell.
More often that not, the obvious is just that.......A dumbass kid doing a dumbass trick and now paying the political price for it.
It isn't about him anymore, it's the bargaining chips he just provided to the NKs...........
They're not going to mistreat him other than scare the hell out of him and eventually they will release him after they have made an example out of him to their own population.
After he's released, he'll make a fortune in television appearances............
Once he gets back to the US, at the very least, the govt. should revoke his passport and forever prohibit him from leaving this country........
