US Government Opposes Supreme Court Bid by 9/11 Attackers to Avoid Death Penalty

The Justice Department is asking the Supreme Court to deny a request from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and co-defendant Mustafa Ahmed al Hawsawi to reinstate plea agreements that would prevent the death penalty. This follows a military judge's ruling that the Pentagon acted too late to withdraw from the agreements, which had allowed the defendants to plead guilty and avoid capital punishment.
