Accused defector seeks medical care in Tokyo hospital
Charles Jenkins, 64, once a U S soldier who defected to North Korea in 1965, rests in a Tokyo hospital for tests and treatment as Japan hopes the United States will grant leniency in the desertion case so he can settle with his Japanese wife Hitomi Soga and their daughters on Sado island. The United States still wants him on four counts, but may defer custody during treatment.
