Air Force Judge Bars KSM Confession, Cites Military Extremism Concerns
Air Force Lt. Col. Michael Schrama ruled that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s 2007 confession was not given voluntarily and barred it from the pending death-penalty trial, saying that extremist activity is growing within U. S.
military ranks, Fox News reported. Earlier, the same military judge had set a start date for the trial of Mohammed and three co-defendants, extending the timeline beyond prosecutors’ request, according to AP News. In separate rulings, the judge found the 2007 statements were not voluntary and excluded them from evidence, as reported by Fox News.
