Reply to comment by Gloomy-Research-7774 in Woman framed in ‘rape fantasy’ plot speaks out after conviction of ex-U.S. Marshal by drkgodess

So Cop and Wife really hate Ex. They set up a sex Craigslist ad that goes like "I, Wife, am horny for rape play. Please come to my home and fuck me. Don't worry if I say no."

And then after the guy comes over they they call other cops and go like "We didn't set this Craiglist page up. It was Ex who did it trying to trick men into rape with Wife. Look the email account is 'IamreallyEx@notasetup.cop'" and so they arrested Ex. Then they found out that Ex didn't set up the account and it was just Cop and Wife trying to make her look evil.

Cop was a cop so the cops didn't want to cop him but now finally they have.

The outgoing calls were never in question. The incoming calls still have to be in range of the tower referenced.

The DNA evidence never exonerated Adnan. His DNA/prints were already found in the car. If they were found on the shoes too, people would just make the same excuse for that DNA they gave for previous evidence which is Adnan had been in the car before anyway.

“If Syed’s case does return to a Baltimore courtroom, it will be handled by a new attorney — former prosecutor Becky Feldman has left the office — and under the administration of new State’s Attorney Ivan Bates. Bates took office in January but said while campaigning he believed Syed’s conviction was flawed and that Syed should be freed.“

I mean, their cell phone tower expert testified that overstated his testimony in the trial and DNA evidence later exonerated Syed. This is on top of a brady violation that was the thing that got him over the finish line. I think the prosecution made a good faith effort, they weren't trying to railroad him, but they made mistakes

He wasn’t found innocent and can thus be retried. He was released because the prosecution did not share all the info with the defense that they were legally required to do so. He was not found not guilty. In a legal sense, a mistrial was declared. The prosecution gets to decide if they want a retrial and I hope and believe that they will

Putting aside Adnan's guilt or innocence, why does victim's brother being given sufficient notice to attend the hearing change anything? If the court would make exactly same decision if he was present, any remedy would be between Lee's brother and the state, and should not result in defendant being dragged through the court system.

If you think he should be in jail, you can easily turn the tables around and ask yourself would you still support this if it was somebody you truly believed was innocent, and the other side was appealing on immaterial (in the sense they would not have changed outcome) details in the hopes they'll have better luck with some combination of court, judge, or prosecutor shopping in the next round. That's basically the spirit of why there is prohibition on double-jeopardy.
