Maryland Court causes blatant miscarriage of justice in reinstating a miscarriage of justice. At least they know it and gave 60 days to sort it out, but Lee's Lawyers will delay the shit out of it.

Reply to comment by SardScroll in Woman framed in ‘rape fantasy’ plot speaks out after conviction of ex-U.S. Marshal by drkgodess
I’m not conflating anything. Of course trial can take months, if not years. That has nothing to do with my comment.
According to the article, this is the timeline:
- ex wife Angela pleads guilty and is sentenced in October 2017.
- POS Ian Diaz is arrested in May 2021.
Why did they wait 3.5 years to arrest him after the ex wife was sentenced?

That's my point. You (at least seem to be) conflating arrest and start of trial, or the real start of trial; technically arraignment, where they ask "how do you plea", has to be done within 48 hours or they can't hold you, but the point is the next bit of trial can be months or years after arraignment, which is messed up but here we are.
Though I did say I phrased my comment badly, a left over of an earlier draft.

I seem to recall the police coaching the dealer on his testimony. Gentle corrections on details, pointing to words on paper for him to make sure to say, something of that nature. Doesn't seem very fair, does it?

Someone help me understand this… the cop marries someone a few months after his former relationship ends… and to tarnish her and ruin her… they hire men online to fuck his wife to frame his ex? Am I understanding that correctly?

Listen to the podcast. It’s fascinating but also heartbreaking. TLDL though, most of the evidence doesn’t hold up scrutiny, and there was a lot of evidence withheld or outright tampered with by the prosecution that exonerates Syed.

She did take a plea. That’s in the article and my comment. But the moment she took a plea (if not sooner), they should have had probable cause to arrest him, and yet they waited 3.5 years to make an arrest. Why? There would be zero reason to wait to simply make an arrest unless she was claiming he wasn’t involved or something, which seems crazy.

There really isn't. Those who think that many resources are so finite are really just ignorant of how large the planet is and our current level of technology.

Yes. AI could actually reverse the most positive of the internet (freedom of info) by filling it with bullshit and giving it bulletproof SEO.

His friend Jay told the cops where the victim's car was ditched. No one knew that. Jay 100% was involved with the killing and/or body disposal. No rational person would conclude that Jay did this on his own. Adnand is a murderer, without any reasonable doubt.
I'm blown away that people were celebrating his release.

I listened to Serial as well and walked away unsure, kind of leaning towards him maybe being guilty. Then I listened to the Undisclosed podcast and they completely proved beyond any doubt that he is completely innocent.

The hard part about a lot of murders is if other illegal stuff was going on concurrently, people will try so hard to cover it up that it interferes with the murder investigation.
A friend of mine was murdered a couple years ago and it took them over a year to make a charge even though they knew who it was from the start. Because everyone close to this guy was involved in other illegal business (they were running a scam ring and selling meth) nobody would talk to the police because they didn't want to get themselves in trouble.
It felt like there was a whole lot of that going on with Adnan's case too. Everyone involved gave stories that seemed like lies, even the person who found her body. We will probably never know the whole truth.

Full pension by 64. Otherwise you get it at 67 like in the US

I agree he had an incompetent defense. No question there. I don't have a problem with "circumstantial" evidence. Most evidence is, and it's totally fine to convict solely based on it. What is important is how strong the circumstantial evidence is.

"Over population is a myth" is a myth to keep the people poor, stupid, and desperately clawing for resources.

The merchant class has brainwashed half the working class into taking up arms to protect their control though.

Thanks for this. Yes - the norms we take for granted today were 'radical' yesterday!
