After nearly two decades of legal twists and turns, the families of 9/11 victims are awaiting a potential guilty plea from accused mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. The attacks on September 11, 2001, claimed nearly 3,000 lives, including paramedic Keith Fairben at the World Trade Center.
Ken Fairben, who lost his only child in the attacks, has been closely following the case, attending hearings at Guantanamo Bay and a military facility near his Long Island home. He sees a guilty plea and life sentence without parole as a small semblance of closure.
