Summary
- The United States Supreme Court rejected an appeal by former Guantanamo detainee Omar Khadr seeking to overturn his war crimes convictions.
- Khadr had pleaded guilty in 2010 to charges, including murder, and waived his right to appeal, despite subsequent legal developments.
- Justices Kavanaugh and Jackson did not participate in the appeal consideration due to prior involvement with the case.
- Khadr had been sentenced to eight years in prison, released in 2015 pending appeal, and a Canadian court ruled his war crimes sentence had expired in 2019.
