Judge Throws Out Another Confession in Sept. 11 Case
Original: Judge Throws Out Another Confession in Sept. 11 Case https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/us/politics/confession-sept-11-t
A federal judge has rejected another confession in the long-running Sept. 11 terrorism case, the latest in a series of rulings discarding statements from the defendants. The decision lands as the case, involving the men accused of plotting the 2001 attacks, remains stalled after more than two decades of pre-trial litigation. Observers say the repeated exclusions underscore continuing disputes over torture-derived evidence and the difficulty of bringing the case to trial.
Why now: The case against the Sept. 11 defendants remains unresolved after decades, and each ruling on coerced confessions renews debate over how justice can be served.
