Judge Throws Out Another Confession in Sept. 11 Case
Original: Judge Throws Out Another Confession in Sept. 11 Case https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/us/politics/confession-sept-11-t
A federal judge has ruled another confession inadmissible in the long-running Sept. 11 terrorism case, tossing out a statement tied to the prosecution of the attacks' alleged plotters. The decision adds to a pattern of suppressed evidence in proceedings that have been stalled for years over questions about how defendants were treated in CIA custody, keeping the case far from trial.
Why now: The Sept. 11 case remains one of America's longest-running legal sagas, and each suppressed confession renews debate over torture, due process and the prospects of ever holding a trial.
