- It's still sinking in. The State knew an alternate suspect said “he would make her [Hae] disappear. He would kill her,” & they didn't disclose it to the defense. As a result, an innocent high school student was wrongfully convicted & imprisoned for 23 years. #freeadnan
- Cyntoia Brown has been released from prison!:
- Love it! "Georgetown Hires Adnan Syed To Support Prisons and Justice Initiative":
- Baltimore prosecutors have officially dropped the charges against Adnan Syed!
Breaking news: After the latest round of DNA testing generated results that, like previous rounds of testing, excluded Adnan Syed, he has now been formally exonerated! - BOOM! "Adnan Syed Murder Conviction Should Be Vacated, Prosecutors Say":
- This seems like the first truly undeniable error in the Karen Read trial: not allowing a medical examiner to testify regarding dog bites and pattern recognition. It's hard to convey just how low the bar is for expert testimony #thread
- James Allen was convicted of the 1984 murder of Robert Ciralsky. In 2009, Robert Langford confessed to the killing. Allen waited almost *13 years* for a hearing. Today, that hearing was *4 minutes* & resulted in his exoneration at age 71:
- The Court of Special Appeals of Maryland affirmed Judge Welch's order granting Adnan a new trial!: courts.state.md.us/data/opinions/…WE WON THE APPEAL. #FreeAdnan
- Recalling how Adnan was offered a plea deal in 2018. If he had taken it, (1) he would have needed to falsely confess; (2) we never would have learned about the critical evidence the State withheld; and (3) there wouldn't be an investigation into the alternate suspects.
- YES!!! Lamar Johnson is released after 28 years of wrongful conviction!
- Today, the Supreme Court will consider Adnan Syed's cert petition at its conference. We should know next Monday whether they have agreed to hear his case.
- At 8:30 of today's @serial update, Sarah indeed noted that Becky Feldman said the alternative suspect who threatened to kill Hae had motive, means & opportunity. Absolute game changer. This suggests the suspect had contact w/Hae that day and/or was at/around the high school.
