 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.

Stitt accepted the recommendation of the state’s prison and parole board to commute Wood’s sentence to life in prison without the possibility of parole, marking only the second time the governor has granted clemency during his tenure. Wood had been convicted of the death of Ronnie Wipf during a failed robbery, though his attorneys argued that Wood’s brother, Zjaiton, was the one who actually killed Wipf. Zjaiton, who received life without parole for his role, died in prison in 2019 and reportedly admitted to stabbing Wipf. The U.S. Supreme Court had denied a last-minute request from Wood’s lawyers to halt the execution. In a statement, Stitt called Wood a “violent offender” and said the new sentence remains “a severe punishment” while keeping him off the streets.
