40
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,639

41
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,799

00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,160

00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 2: the charges.

55
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 3: The case remains under investigation, with prosecutors expecting additional details

56
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 3: later this week. The Defense Department plans to appeal a

57
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: recent military judge's decision to uphold plea deals for Khalid

58
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 3: Sheik Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the September eleventh attacks,

59
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 3: and to co defendants. This ruling effectively overturns Defense Secretary

60
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 3: Lloyd Austen's earlier order to discard the plea agreements. The

61
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 3: military judge, Air Force Colonel Matthew McCall approved the plea agreements,

62
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 3: which will allow the three defendants to avoid the death

63
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 3: penalty and proceed with guilty pleas in the Military Court

64
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 3: at Guantanamo Bay. If accepted, this would mark a major

65
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: step forward in the lengthy and complex legal process for

66
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: the nine to eleven prosecutions, which have faced years of setbacks,

67
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 3: pretrial hearings, and debates over the admissibility of evidence gathered

68
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: under torture. The Defense Department has requested a delay for

69
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 3: any plea hearings as they work to appeal McCall's ruling.

70
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 3: Rear Admiral Aaron Ruff, the lead prosecutor, notified families of

71
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 3: nine to eleven victims of the judge's decision. Secretary Austin

72
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,239
Speaker 3: previously argued that final decisions on plea deals in cases

73
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 3: involving potential death penalties should rest with the Defense Secretary,

74
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: not the military court.
