The U.S. Supreme Court declined on July 22 to rehear an appeal by a Canadian former Guantanamo Bay detainee who asked to set aside his convictions for the murder of a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan and related crimes he committed when he was 15 years old.
The decision not to revisit the case of the petitioner, Toronto-born Omar Ahmed Khadr, 37, came after the court denied his petition for certiorari, or review, on May 20 regarding a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
