Fox News: A military appeals court has ruled against Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s effort to throw out the plea deals reached for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other defendants in the 9/11 attacks
The three men plead guilty…in exchange for being spared the possibility of the death penalty
Supporters of the plea agreements see them as a way of resolving the legally troubled case
Focus of pretrial arguments has been on how torture of the men while in CIA custody…may taint the overall evidence
Opinion: How are these guys still alive!?!? I’m all for a free trial, but damn. Credit to SecDef for trying to throw out the plea deal.
