#Adnan Syed

[follow-up-news]

Baltimore prosecutors filed a motion supporting Adnan Syed’s recent request to have his sentence reduced to time served, which could ensure he remains free indefinitely as he awaits further court decisions in a decades long legal saga that amassed a large following from the hit podcast “Serial.” Syed was released from prison in 2022 after prosecutors asked a judge to overturn his murder conviction in the 1999 slaying of his high school ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee. But challenges from Lee’s family later led to his conviction being reinstated. In August, the Maryland Supreme Court upheld a lower court decision ordering a new hearing about vacating the conviction. Last month, Syed’s attorneys filed a motion asking for his sentence to be reduced under Maryland’s relatively new Juvenile Restoration Act, which allows people serving long sentences for crimes they committed as minors to seek release after 20 years behind bars.

Omicidio Hae Min Lee: Le Prove e le Teorie sul Caso Serial

Il caso dell’omicidio di Hae Min Lee è molto discusso e misterioso. Hae Min Lee, una studentessa di Baltimora, sparì il 13 gennaio 1999. Il suo corpo fu trovato settimane dopo. Il principale sospettato era Adnan Syed, l’ex fidanzato di Hae Min Lee. Nel 2000, fu condannato all’ergastolo per l’omicidio. Ma nel 2022, dopo anni di appelli e nuove indagini, Syed è stato scagionato e rilasciato. Questo…

I've re-listening to Serial season 1 again. I have a theory. I think Jay's girlfriend Stephanie killed Hae. Why? I don't know. But maybe she killed Hae and told Jay, her older caring boyfriend, all about it. Together Stephanie, Jay and Jenn concoct a story that makes sense, blame it on the ex. Then Jay and Jenn get Adnan high. Jay has had Adnan's phone and car all day, it would be easy to use Adnan's phone and car to dump the body if Adnan is high out of his mind. I know that people said Adnan was at the mosque that night, but also, as is made clear in the podcast, no one except Jay and Jenn seems to have a clear memory of that night.

Then Jay tells Stephanie to tell no one and he'll try to throw suspicion on Adnan. Jenn also knows this is the plan and leads the cops to Jay. And Jay is really convincing because Stephanie told him everything about the murder and he helped dispose of the body and helped dump Hae's car. This is the one story that makes the most sense to me. Especially because shortly after the body is found Stephanie closes up. She won't talk to anyone even her best friends about it. Maybe she doesn't want to get involved in a murder investigation. But maybe, just maybe she killed someone and needed people to not ask her in case she incriminates herself.

I might be very late to the game on this one, but it's been bugging me for years.

Adnan Syed Will Not Return to Prison, Judge Rules

Adnan Syed will not return to prison after prosecutors in Baltimore withdrew a motion last week to vacate his murder conviction despite efforts to clear his record, a Maryland judge ruled on Thursday. The case has gone back and forth since it became the subject of widespread attention in 2014, when the podcast “Serial” raised questions about the investigation into the 1999 killing of Hae Min Lee,…

🌙 Books for Arab American Heritage Month

🌙 April is Arab American Heritage Month, which celebrates the 3.7 million Arab Americans across the country. This is an opportunity to combat Anti-Arab bigotry by challenging stereotypes and prejudices.

✨ One of the best ways to do so is to read books ABOUT Arab Americans. To help, here are a few books for Arab American Heritage Month you can read, discuss, or add to your ever-growing TBR!

Wow, so since I posted this, I found out the shoes were in Hae's car. They didn't even have Hae's DNA on them, making it very likely she never wore them on the day of the murder. Which means DNA testing done on them was pretty much irrelevant.

Mosby and the other prosecutors would have known this, but they made it sound like it was bombshell esculpatory evidence. What absolute cunts!

I honestly don't know enough about Hae Min Lee's murder to form an opinion about Adnan's guilt or innocence, but her family or Adnan should sue the justice system for not conducting DNA analysis earlier. A girl was murdered, from what I understand the evidence against the person convicted was less than 100% convincing, and the police simply choose not to investigate a key piece of evidence?

A Baltimore judge ruled Thursday that Adnan Syed, who was featured in the "Serial" podcast more than a decade ago, does not have to return to prison and will remain on five years of supervised release under Maryland's Juvenile Restoration Act. “After considering the entire record, the court concludes that the Defendant is not a danger to the public and that the interests of justice will be better served by a reduced sentence,” Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Jennifer B. Schiffer wrote. The judge's decisioncomes after years of court rulings and appeals that included one prosecutor supporting overturning Syed’s murder conviction and their predecessor withdrawing that motion. He was sentenced to life in prison plus 30 years after being convicted of murder in the killing of his former high school girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, in 1999. His case was made famous by the hit podcast “Serial” in 2014, which raised questions about his conviction.

I wanted to listen to a podcast that has many episodes that covers one crime in big detail and found the podcast Serial and holy shit I finished season 1 on the case about Adnan Syed being convicted at 17 for murdering his ex girlfriend Haemin Lee and wow that was so fucking interesting I've never been more like invested that was like..... whoa. Wrongful conviction case and it ended up getting the guy out of prison and showing all the fucked up wrong shit they got wrong in the case back in 1999 when it happened and it was so much shit I was like damn dude. That's nuts. Has there been an update on this case?!?? I need to look because this podcast was from like 2014-2017 I think

[emtmercy]

God there’s such insane amazing drama happening around a couple of my favorite podcasts from the obsessed network

Like twenty page Google docs style drama

Sadly some podcasters I enjoyed are kind of evil but it’s almost worth it to experience this like it’s so crazy what all went down

Literally like terra newall who killed the man from the “dirty John” true crime story screaming at ppl at the con (great example of why making people famous for their trauma perhaps not ideal lol)

Raubia chaudry the real world lawyer for adnan syed was there and is making public statements with the podcasters she’s sided with

Podcast host and network founder pushing past a fan physically and calling her a bitch

Podcasters barred from the premises during the con

What a tale

[riverlarking]

got reminded of the serial podcast and adnan syed damn. i listened to season 1 in 2020 and believed it and then i stumbled upon people saying that sarah koenig was sooo biased towards him

"Victims rights" was a mistake

my rant on this is that it should have been obvious to everyone even glancingly acquainted with the history of jurisprudence that the notion of "victim's rights" was at best incoherent and much more plausibly glossed as a way to put a compassionate-conservative gloss on tough-on-crime rhetoric, to further strip due process protections from the accused and the encourage harsher sentencing by pointing to victims and going "see? they will be sad if you don't do this." example: adnan syed, the man convicted of the murder of hae min lee (the subject of the first season of the podcast Serial) had his conviction vacated for 1) lack of physical evidence and 2) egregious prosecutorial rule violations. his conviction was later re-instated on procedural grounds that have been misleadingly framed as "due process", the procedural violation in question being that the brother of the victim was not able to attend the hearing on the conviction being vacated.

which is insane! the idea that "due process" requires the relatives of the victim to be able to attend a hearing on whether your conviction should be overturned bc your rights were violated stretches the concept to its breaking point. especially when said relatives don't even have a role in the legal proceeding: it's not like the guy was a witness. he just wasn't allowed to watch. and of course you're allowed to have an opinion about whether the guy whose conviction is being overturned actually killed your sister or not, but that doesn't mean you should get a veto over whether to vacate the conviction of someone who almost certainly didn't do the crime, and had their rights violated while being prosecuted for it.

the whole reason that in modern legal systems we frequently frame criminal prosecutions as "the crown vs X", or "the people vs X", or "the state vs X" is because we want justice to be done in the name of the sovereign authority whose duty it is to uphold the civil order and which will be attendant to other important social effects of criminal prosecution, not by biased parties whose only significant interest in the case is satisfaction of personal vengeance.

you can have vengeance-based legal systems with no public prosecutions--iceland tried this for a few centuries--but the reason that kind of honor culture shit tends to get abandoned is that it results in people without social capital suffering a disproportionate share of violence, and it leads to increases in violence in general.

"victim's rights" is flagrant right-wing propaganda. there are plenty of ways to support and aid victims of serious crimes without giving them a role in the prosecution of crimes. and to do so is to undermine the whole reason we have a public system of criminal justice in the first place.

the US will literally prefer to execute a man known to be innocent than allow judicial proceedings to be clouded by "uncertainty"
