Supreme Court backs Pentagon decision to throw out plea deals for 9/11 alleged conspirators
The Supreme Court on Monday declined to review former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austinâs decision to cancel plea agreements with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other defendants accused of plotting the 9/11 terror attack.
By denying the appeals, the high court left in place a decision from an appeals court last year that found Austin, who worked for former President Joe Biden, âindisputablyâ had authority to cancel the agreements, which had taken the death penalty off the table for the three alleged conspirators.
The decision puts the case back in the hands of military courts that have for years struggled to set a trial.
Supreme Court turns away appeal from alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed
Washington — The Supreme Court on Monday rebuffed a bid from accused Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two alleged accomplices to revive plea agreements that they reached with military prosecutors before being revoked by the Biden administration.
In an unsigned order, the high court turned away the appeals from Mohammed, Mustafa al Hawsawi and Walid bin 'Atash of a lower court decision that prevented a military judge from enforcing pretrial agreements they reached with military prosecutors in 2024, which were withdrawn by then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
In rejecting their case, the government's withdrawal of the plea deals remains in place. Justice Brett Kavanaugh did not participate in the court's consideration of the appeal.
