Justice Brett Kavanaugh did not participate in the court&#8217;s consideration of the appeal.<\/p>\n<p>Mohammed, Hawsawi and bin &#8216;Atash, were captured in 2003 and charged before a military commission with several crimes for their alleged roles in crafting and perpetrating the Sept. 11 attacks, five of which carry the death penalty. In August, the judge overseeing their cases <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/khalid-sheikh-mohammed-september-11-mastermind-trial\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">set a trial date<\/a><\/span> of June 2028, which <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/khalid-sheikh-mohammed-911-plotters-trial\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">depends on<\/a><\/span> the parties meeting certain deadlines and milestones on time.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecutions have been mired in lengthy legal delays over whether evidence extracted during their interrogations could be used in court. The defendants were held at secret CIA prisons, where they were subjected to &#8220;enhanced interrogation techniques,&#8221; or torture, before they were moved to Guantanamo Bay in 2006. They were formally charged in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, following the appointment of retired Brigadier General Susan Escallier as the Convening Authority for military commissions, military lawyers began discussing plea deals with the defendants. Agreements were <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/khalid-shaikh-mohammad-sept-11-plea-deal\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">subsequently reached<\/a><\/span> in 2024 and approved by Escallier, who oversees the military court at Guantanamo Bay.<\/p>\n<p>Under the terms of the deals, the defendants would plead guilty to all charges arising from their alleged roles in the 9\/11 terror attacks and serve life sentences, avoiding the death penalty. But shortly after the agreements were announced, Austin <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/defense-secretary-withdraws-plea-deal-911-defendants-khalid-shaikh-mohammad\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">said he was revoking them<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But a military judge ruled in November 2024 that Austin&#8217;s nullification of the deals was unlawful, rendering the agreements valid and enforceable. A military appeals court then said Austin <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/9-11-plea-deals-khalid-sheik-mohammed-lloyd-austin-appeals-court\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">couldn&#8217;t rescind<\/a><\/span> the plea deals because the defendants had begun to perform one of the terms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Justice Department then <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/911-plea-deal-appeals-court\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">asked the D.C.
