Excerpt:
Durbin has chaired two hearings on Guantanamo Bay over the past 11 years and followed these developments for more than two decades. In December 2021, the Senate Judiciary Committee heard testimony from Ms. Colleen Kelly, who shared the painful experience of watching many other 9/11 family members pass away without justice or closure. Ms. Kelly’s brother, Bill Kelly, was killed in the North Tower that fateful day. She pleaded with Congress to ensure that the remaining family members see some measure of accountability before their own deaths.
Durbin then shared the latest, heart-wrenching update from Ms. Kelly, writing: “As the news broke that prosecutors in the 9/11 case had secured guilty pleas from three of the defendants on July 31, Colleen’s mother JoAnne was in hospice care. Colleen was able to reassure her that the family had done right by Bill. Colleen did not have the heart to tell her that you reversed the guilty pleas two days later. JoAnne Kelly passed away on August 6th with the ongoing lack of finality only compounding the Kelly family’s immeasurable loss.”
