Article summary
The Supreme Court rejected an appeal by Omar Khadr, a former Guantanamo detainee, attempting to clear his war crimes convictions, including killing a U.S. soldier. Despite a federal appeals court ruling, Khadr had waived his right to appeal by pleading guilty in 2010. Justices Kavanaugh and Jackson recused themselves from the case due to prior involvement.
Khadr, captured at 15, was charged with war crimes after a firefight in Afghanistan resulting in the soldier’s death. He served time in Guantanamo before being released in 2015 pending appeal. In 2019, a Canadian judge ruled his sentence had expired.
