The DNA on her shoe could literally be from anyone in the school who touched them, or from a gym locker, or transferred in any number of ways. It’s not like it was under her finger nails, or somewhere unexplainable. The prosecutorial notes that Mosby said referred to a second suspect actually referred to Adnan, as confirmed by the prosecutor who wrote them. There was literally nothing exculpatory in it, unless you’re a conspiracy theorist, which is why the Attorney General came out in disbelief that Mosby overturned the rulings of the highest Maryland courts who saw the evidence and upheld the conviction.

to let who know? this isnt national news. 6 dead from bad driving, murder rate like an active war zone, crooked politicians....thats national news.

How does the mayor have the power to reject what a treatment plant can and can't do?

Shit. Opening day?!!?!? You got people who don’t give two shits about baseball going to opening day. So yeah it gets crazy haha that whole block becomes one big party basically lol

Sewage disasters have become cultural here. Everyone I know has a horror story about a sewer line collapsing or their basement flooding.

They're breeding then, because I've 100% seen roadways with trees younger than from the 70's, I'm talking 3-5 year old trees next to older more established trees.

Honestly I wish we could get the go-ahead to just chainsaw any that are on public property. Problem would be solved very quickly

This whole thing makes us look like morons. I'm disappointed that our politicians chose to score some brownie points this way. Thanks for the insight for anyone that hasn't had this explained to them already.

I hope the new evidence holds and they vacate the conviction a second time.

Have you reviewed any of the latest evidence presented and gathered??

That’s the thing… they don’t have a right to say a word at this particular hearing. They don’t need time to gather thoughts or retain counsel to intervene, because they don’t get a say. They are not parties and even this court agreed they have no right to be heard.

They have a right to notice and to attend, and they got notice (albeit late) and they did attend (albeit virtually). They even got to speak when they weren’t entitled to. The decision puts form over substance on the thinnest of grounds all for nothing. Absent some change in position from Bates, all that happens here is a quick redo I would think.

I’d have to look. I seem to recall there being a rule that sets a general standard of no less than 5 days, not weekends, but I’m pulling that from my ass. It’s not something I regularly need to deal with.

I didn't realize there was a place the EPA could operate that is not within a state.

To let people know Baltimore is a city full of smart, industrious people who find solutions to the environmental and social problems facing our nation, as well as bring the resources and continued opportunities for growth such a reputation would bring. Instead, Baltimore is showing that its scared and misinformed, and will fight against change and progress. We're screaming at the top of our lungs that Baltimore is not a place where people who solve problems live.

That’s so unacceptable. Thank goodness we’re rid of her, though the human victims of her incompetence will remain.

This is literally the right wing logic used to ignore climate change by claiming the scientist who present the data profit off it. Stop spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories.

Yup, this is an anti-science, anti-environment position based on misinformation and fearmongering.

Have MD courts ever clearly defined a specific length of time that is sufficient, and how notice is delivered?

Nice

Thank god someone still cares about justice. Syed killed that girl and deserves to be behind bars. He never should have been let out in the first place.

I think we're spending a lot of money and lining a lot of politicians pockets to look like we're working on our infrastructure.

That's 2.5 TRILLION milliliters! (Serious, that dude's emphasis on the number is dumb, you can make it any number with a simple change of unit)

I responded earlier and thank you again for the correction.

Thank you for clarifying. I suppose Mosby could have argued for a later date, but that's not the main issue. It makes more sense to me, then, that the higher court made this ruling. They are essentially correcting a mistake by the lower court, which feels less controversial for some reason.

The appeals court found that the deficient notice was the fault of the judge, not the prosecutor. So it was the the judge that knew better but didn’t care.

I suppose one thing to note is that the appeals court found that the deficient notice was the fault of the court not the prosecutors. This is because it was the judge who - on Friday- set the vacate hearing date for Monday. The prosecutor immediately notified the family after exiting the judges chambers and then followed up on that on Sunday.

The appeals court also confirmed that the victims representative does not have the right to speak at at these types of hearings, only to attend. Which isn’t surprising because the statue is clear. Here the judge did allow him to make a statement albeit over zoom. If you read the appeals court order, the judge in this case is not required to let the victim representative speak at the new hearing, only attend. So while the judge will almost certainly let him speak since that happened last time, the judge is not required to do so.
