Military judge’s extremism concerns delay 9/11 trial after confession ruling
TL;DR Summary
Lt. Col. Michael Schrama, the Air Force judge overseeing Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s case, threw out Mohammed’s 2007 confession as involuntary, delaying the long-stalled military-commission trial to June 2028 after rejecting a January 2027 start. The ruling has revived scrutiny of Schrama, including his 2023 War on the Rocks essay advocating codifying domestic extremism in the military, a position tied to concerns about conservative tendencies and extremist recruitment within the armed forces.
