Credited from: CBSNEWS

  • The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has **paused the plea proceedings** for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged architect of the 9/11 attacks.
  • This decision allows the court to **review full briefings** and hear arguments regarding the plea agreements.
  • The U.S. government seeks to **stop the military tribunal** from accepting these plea deals, which would allow Mohammed and others to avoid the death penalty.
  • There is contention over whether **Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin** has the authority to revoke these agreements, with prior rulings stating Austin acted too late.
  • The ruling affects three defendants implicated in the September 11 attacks; however, **one is unfit for trial**, and another has not negotiated a plea deal.
