text:  The guilty plea will resolve Assange's outstanding legal matters with the U.S. government. CBS News is reporting that Assange opposed traveling to the continental U.S. to enter the guilty plea, which is why his case will be heard in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, a territory of the U.S. located just north of Guam. Eric Tucker of the Associated Press explains why Assange will not be serving any time in an American prison.
