Pentagon Moves to Block Guantanamo Plea Deals That Spare 9/11 Defendants From Death Penalty
Jan 8, 2025, 12:52 AM

The plea deals, scheduled to be accepted on Friday, would allow the defendants to avoid the death penalty in exchange for guilty pleas.

The government's motion aims to prevent the military judge from accepting the plea agreements, moving the question from military to civilian courts.
