最高法院驳回9/11主谋恢复认罪协议的上诉 协议撤销维持、军事审判2028年6月开庭
华盛顿——美国最高法院10月19日在命令清单中以无署名命令驳回被控策划2001年9月11日恐怖袭击的 Khalid Sheikh Mohammed 及同案被告 Mustafa al Hawsawi、Walid bin 'Atash 的上诉，不恢复三人此前达成的认罪协议。据路透社报道，本次驳回意味着撤销认罪协议的决定维持有效。
该认罪协议于2024年7月31日达成，内容为三人认罪、以换取免于死刑、改处无假释终身监禁。协议公布两天后，时任国防部长 Lloyd Austin 宣布撤销协议；哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院其后支持撤销，案件由此上诉至最高法院。最高法院的命令没有记录任何大法官的异议，大法官 Brett Kavanaugh 回避、未参与本案审理。
三人的军事审判已定于2028年6月5日在关塔那摩湾美国海军基地开庭审理。今年8月，一名军事法官另行裁定，Mohammed 当年向联邦调查局（FBI）作出的供述并非自愿，不得在审判中用作证据。
Supreme Court Rejects Bid to Revive 9/11 Mastermind's Plea Deal; Military Trial Set for June 2028
Washington — The U.S. Supreme Court on October 19, in an unsigned order on its orders list, rejected an appeal by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, accused of masterminding the September 11, 2001 attacks, and co-defendants Mustafa al Hawsawi and Walid bin 'Atash, declining to revive their plea agreement. According to Reuters, the denial leaves in place the decision to revoke the deal.
The plea agreement, reached on July 31, 2024, would have had the three men plead guilty in exchange for avoiding the death penalty and receiving life sentences without parole. Two days after it was announced, then-Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin revoked the deal; the D.C. Circuit later upheld the revocation, bringing the case to the Supreme Court. The Court's order noted no dissents, and Justice Brett Kavanaugh recused himself and did not participate.
A military trial for the three men at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay is now scheduled to begin on June 5, 2028. In August, a military judge separately ruled that statements Mohammed made to the FBI were not voluntary and cannot be used as evidence at trial.
