Supreme Court blocks appeals for 911 defendants
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's appeal, the main defendant in the 9/11 attacks, leaving intact the decision to revoke the plea agreements he reached in 2024. This means his trial will continue in a military court at Guantanamo Bay. The agreements, which involved other defendants and were signed during President Biden's administration, included their confessions in exchange for avoiding the death penalty, but they were annulled following objections from the victims' families. Legal proceedings will continue, with the trial scheduled to begin in June 2028, amid legal issues related to detention conditions and interrogation methods.
