U.S. Seeks Court Intervention to Halt Plea Deals in 9/11 Case of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed

Credited from: CBSNEWS

  • The U.S. government has filed a motion to prevent a military tribunal from accepting plea agreements in the 9/11 case.
  • This motion was filed in the Washington, D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, seeking to prohibit the war tribunal in Guantanamo Bay from proceeding.
  • The plea deals, which would allow Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and others to plead guilty in exchange for avoiding the death penalty, have been contested.
  • Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin previously attempted to revoke these deals, asserting he should have the authority over such significant decisions.
  • A plea hearing for Mohammed is slated for Friday, but government attorneys are pushing to stay these proceedings pending the court's review.
