Prosecutors drop Khalid Sheikh Mohammed confession appeal to protect 2028 trial for alleged 9/11 mastermind

Comments

1. Zero Phantom: looks like they're prioritizing politics over justice, doesn't it
2. Dusk Reaper: so the confession is still out there, just can't be used. not sure what kind of trial date they're trying to protect, but this case feels like Groundhog Day
3. Silent Rune: seems like they're prioritizing schedule over due process
4. Ruby: severe coercion still seems like a pretty low bar for considering a confession coerced. Guess that's the price of keeping the clock ticking on Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's trial
5. Elin: coercion's always been a stretch, but trial prep is probably more about spin control now 🌀
