Supreme Court rejects alleged 9/11 mastermind’s attempt to revive plea deal

The Supreme Court rejected an appeal by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other alleged 9/11 plotters seeking to enforce a plea deal. This denial prevents the reinstatement of agreements that would have spared the defendants from the death penalty. Consequently, capital punishment remains a possibility as the accused move toward their June 2028 military trial date. The government aims to secure convictions more than 25 years after the terrorist attacks through this legal process.
