Supreme Court rejects 9/11 mastermind's plea deal appeal
Original: Supreme Court rejects alleged 9/11 mastermind’s attempt to revive plea deal
The US Supreme Court has declined to revive a plea deal for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the September 11 attacks. The decision ends his attempt to reinstate an agreement that would have spared him the death penalty in exchange for a guilty plea, keeping his case mired in the long-stalled military commissions process at Guantanamo Bay.
Why now: The Supreme Court's rejection is a major development in one of America's longest-running terrorism prosecutions, renewing debate over whether the 9/11 case will ever reach a conclusion.
