Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was temporarily blocked from entering a guilty plea deal to evade death penalty, underscoring the complexity of legal proceedings surrounding 9/11.
The Biden administration's initially supportive stance on the plea deal shifted dramatically, as recent weeks saw renewed attempts to prevent the deal, emphasizing the administration's evolving position.
Under the plea deal, Mohammed would accept guilt for 2,976 murders in exchange for life sentences, aimed at providing closure for the victims' families while avoiding the death penalty.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's reversal on the plea agreement highlights the ongoing conflict between legal negotiations and the perceived gravity of the 9/11 crimes.
