In January 2010, Hogan ruled against the government's introduction of evidence against Musa'ab Omar Al Madhwani, a terrorism detainee, on the grounds his confessions were coerced before he became a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay. Hogan also said the government failed to establish that 23 statements the detainee made to interrogators at Guantanamo Bay were untainted by the earlier coerced statements made while he was held in Afghanistan.[3]
