Now with the latest crime and justice breaking news, Crime Online's John Limley. In Seattle, a 37-year-old man accused of stabbing five people in a broad daylight attack

and possibly four others the day before has now made his first court appearance. Here's Sydney Sumner of Crime Online with more. The judge ordered the suspect held on a $2 million bail, citing his criminal record, which includes nine prior felonies and an outstanding warrant. According to police, the suspect allegedly began his attacks in the Chinatown International District, where the stabbings appeared random. Four victims remain hospitalized, with one upgraded to serious condition, while two others are in intensive care. Investigators say the man may have been involved in a string of similar attacks the day before. At the crime scene, police recovered two bloodstained knives and found a third knife lodged in one victim's back. Video evidence and witness

accounts describe the suspect as calmly attacking individuals, reportedly walking up behind people and stabbing them without warning. He was arrested at the scene, allegedly wearing a sweatshirt that read, Fear the God State, and showing visible signs of blood on his hands and shoes. King County Prosecuting Attorney Lisa Mannion expressed her commitment to ensuring public safety for residents and visitors to the Chinatown International District, emphasizing the severity of the charges. The case remains under investigation, with prosecutors expecting additional details later this week.

The Defense Department plans to appeal a recent military judge's decision to uphold plea deals for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the September 11th attacks, and two co-defendants. This ruling effectively overturns Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's earlier order to discard the plea agreements. The military judge, Air Force Colonel Matthew McCall, approved the plea agreements, which would allow the three defendants to avoid the death penalty and proceed with guilty pleas in the military court at Guantanamo Bay. If accepted, this would mark a major step forward in the lengthy and complex legal process for the 9-11 prosecutions, which have faced years of setbacks, pretrial hearings, and debates over the admissibility

of evidence gathered under torture. The Defense Department has requested a delay for any plea hearings as they work to appeal McCaul's ruling. Rear Admiral Aaron Ruff, the lead prosecutor, notified families of 9-11 victims of the judge's decision. Secretary Austin previously argued that final decisions on plea deals in cases involving potential death penalties should rest with the defense secretary, not the military court. Thanks, John.
