Khadr Rejects Secret Plea in Gitmo War Crimes Trial
Omar Khadr denounced his forthcoming U.S. war crimes trial as a sham and said he spurned a secret plea deal that would have admitted guilt for a five year term of a 30 year sentence. He fired his lawyers and said he would represent himself, calling the process unfair and abusive to a former child. His family’s attorney said the offer was to end detention in 2015 with continued Canadian punishment.
