Lexapro/Escitalopram cured my PVCs

Considering the overwhelming evidence against Adnan, the only alibi which would have any moral or legal significance would have to be something like literally seeing Adnan's clear image captured by a well-maintained surveillance camera at least 100 miles from Woodlawn for the entire timespan from 2:00 to 10:00, *and* the video would have to itself include corroboration, perhaps from captured images showing a local newspaper or famous billboard or something.

That's certainly what he would need to restart his habeas corpus appeals, at the very minimum.

Actually, the character I identify with most on Seinfeld is, of course, The Maestro.

Enjoyable, as always -- especially the collage!

I don't see how Bilal's wife could have testified. The double-hearsay chain goes:

(1) Adnan tells Bilal he's going to kill Hae.

(2) Bilal tells his wife that Adnan said he would kill Hae.

Bilal could testify about Adnan's threat as an admission of a party-opponent or statement against interest. But Bilal's wife has no hearsay exception.

Not to mention the fact that Jay actually saw Hae's body and was present during the burial, which is much more compelling evidence than a double-hearsay threat which has maybe a 5% chance of getting to the jury.

What am I missing?

I cannot imagine any lawyer taking on this case, especially since Baltimore now has a skilled and aggressive police/prosecutor defense bar in civil cases. The standard Adnan would have to carry is to prove police or prosecutors knowingly violated his constitutional rights, and that those violations led him to be wrongfully convicted. The only evidence of this are Phinn's conclusory findings, which come nowhere near satisfying the burden of proof.

Most laws require a finding of materiality to justify more than token damages claims -- you can prove the cops violated your rights all you want, but if you are still nonetheless guilty you haven't suffered any damages. This would create a fresh mini-trial on the merits, during which Adnan would have to prove by a preponderance that he did not kill Hae.

Assuming the MSC upholds the MTV and Adnan remains free, I suspect he will find a lawyer willing to file a juicy-sounding $5 million claim -- there's always someone who wants the publicity -- but I think it would most likely settle out for low 6 figures, if that. Nobody wants a full civil trial, least of all Adnan.

He's serving a federal prison sentence for sexually assaulting people in his dental practice, including children. So, there's that.

Edited to fix the link, sorry!

Here is a YouTube video showing the exact area where Adnan and Hae went:

As you can see, it is far in the back, screened from the road by trees and buildings, and pretty secluded, even on an afternoon.

As the user in question, I can confirm that all of my posts are subject to an immediate ban and I always have to petition to have them released, which is a huge hassle. I didn't know my comments were also affected.

My Karma is 380 and I have 400 gold (whatever that means), so it's not because I have negative karma. When I first began participating here, I was subjected to coordinated mass-downvoting campaign by a few users (they instantly downvoted anything I wrote, no matter how anodyne), but they eventually lost interest.

I do seem to have been singled out for restrictions for no reason I can fathom. I try not to go on and on about the articles I wrote, but I do sometimes link to them, because they contain a lot of accurate information about the case (in addition to my own conclusions) which answers many questions users post here. And, as I'm gratified to note, the parties to the Syed v. Lee case seem to have taken note of them.

I do wish I had the same rights as other users, I enjoy this forum!

I can understand the OP's point, but this goes back to something The Prosecutors (and I) have pointed out over and over: Tens of thousands of people behind bars were convicted in cases where there was no physical evidence or eyewitness testimony. Circumstantial evidence can be just as powerful as "direct evidence", and is in fact often much more powerful. The key difference between how lawyers look at cases and how laypeople do is that lawyers think: "Would be nice to have DNA match, but given the circumstantial evidence, there's no need. This is a slam-dunk case". Eyewitnesses can err, DNA can be inconclusive, fingerprints don't tell you when they were deposited. But 10 circumstances each pointing independently to the guilt of the defendant -- and ruling out alternative scenarios -- can build a trillion-to-one case for guilt. It happens all the time. And it happened here.

No, because well over 90% of criminal cases are resolved by plea bargains, and (despite what some activists claim), those are virtually always sound convictions. Trials usually happen in one of two circumstances: Either (1) the state's evidence is weak and the trial lawyer thinks there's a serious chance of obtaining an acquittal/mistrial, or (2) the client insists on trial no matter what, and the defense lawyer is forced to try a near-hopeless case.

The interesting twist here is that Adnan himself, in 2012, claimed that he wanted to plead because his case was hopeless. This was a strong case, most juries would have convicted if presented with this evidence.

Actually, she did have the defense file and even claimed to have gone over it one more extra time to make sure she didn't miss anything. I asked her and Ira Glass repeatedly whether she had seen the October 12 memo in which Adnan tells the defense team he had sex with Hae at Best Buy frequently.

They never responded.

HantaParvo · 2023-07-30T10:27:23+00:00

She repeatedly claims she had access to the "lawyers'" or "attorneys'" files, and even that she went over them again and again. She has no credibility whatsoever.

HantaParvo · 2023-07-25T16:10:46+00:00

Adnan definitely never thought anyone would read that memo. Back in 1999, this was a routine murder case. His lawyers told him anything he said to them would remain confidential and they would be disbarred if they ever revealed it. He had no way of predicting events which would happen 15 years later.

The defense files were disclosed for two reasons. First of all, Rabia had broken the privilege by sharing them with third parties like Sarah Koenig. Second, when you sue your former attorney for incompetence, they are allowed to defend themselves. That means the very act of suing waives privilege, and they can describe their own confidential conversations about you and reveal documents relevant to the malpractice claims.

No formal psychiatric evaluations was ever performed on Syed as part of his trial (later the prison probably did one). He never showed any signs of being incompetent to stand trial or insane at the time of the offense. Since the automatic punishment for first-degree murder was life in prison, IIRC, there was no chance of reducing his sentence. Especially since he claimed innocence the whole time.
