 Military judge suppresses Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s FBI confession in 9/11 case A military judge has excluded a confession that alleged Sept. 11 attacks mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed gave to FBI agents nearly 20 years ago, ruling that the statements were not made voluntarily. The decision is a setback for the U.S. government's long-running effort to prosecute Mohammed, who is accused of helping develop the plot to hijack planes and crash them into the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Mohammed remains detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, alongside other defendants awaiting trial. Lt. Col. Michael Schrama, the judge overseeing the case, scheduled a June 2028 trial for Mohammed and three other defendants earlier this week. In an order issued Friday that has not been made public, Schrama barred prosecutors from using statements Mohammed made during four days of FBI questioning at Guantanamo in January 2007.

 Woman sentenced to maximum for killing 3-year-old in Ohio store parking lot

CLEVELAND, OHIO - A judge on Monday sentenced a woman to life without parole for the murder of a 3-year-old boy in an Ohio grocery store parking lot last summer.

Bionca Ellis, 34, was convicted earlier this month on multiple charges, including aggravated murder, in connection with the unprovoked attack. She did not testify during her trial, and her attorneys argued that she was not sane at the time of the killing, citing longstanding mental health issues.

The boy’s mother, Margot Wood, tearfully recounted in court how Ellis stabbed her son, Julian, and also injured her, saying she did not know Ellis prior to the attack. Wood described the horror of hearing her son’s screams and witnessing his terror, calling it a “living nightmare” she relives every day. Julian’s father, Jarred, described his son as bright, funny, and full of life, adding, “That monster took him from us,” and urged family and friends to keep his memory alive.

During sentencing, Wood told Ellis she deserved to spend the rest of her life in prison without mercy, while mental health experts testifying for the defense insisted Ellis was mentally ill and could not distinguish right from wrong. Defense attorneys argued that Ellis behaves like “two different people” depending on whether she is medicated and said they disagree with the verdict. Ellis briefly addressed the court, offering a partial apology.

Prosecutors said Ellis targeted the child after a confrontation with the North Olmsted Police Department, believing officers had taken money from her following a probation violation. Security footage showed her taking knives from a nearby store before arriving at the Giant Eagle grocery lot, where she carried out the attack. Prior reporting noted that Ellis had been released from jail on a separate case shortly before the incident, despite recommendations for further mental health evaluation.
