Twenty-five years after 9/11, families of the nearly 3,000 victims are still waiting for justice as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed—alleged mastermind—remains at Guantanamo Bay with no trial yet begun. Over two decades of legal limbo, five military judges, and endless delays have left relatives desperate, many fearing they won’t live to see a conviction. With a June 2028 trial date set but more delays looming, grief is compounded by bureaucratic inertia. Tom Resta, whose brother died in the attacks, describes hearings as soul-crushing, clinging to memories and objects as anchors to his loss. A recent judge’s dismissal of Mohammed’s confessions—due to torture during CIA custody—has further stalled proceedings, experts say, turning every legal hurdle into a battle over evidence integrity. Families feel betrayed by the government’s slow pace, torn between accepting plea deals or demanding full trials to expose truth. While the public may view 9/11 as history, for survivors, the pain and fight for accountability endure, year after agonizing year.
