re: Judge overturns Adnan Syed’s 1999 murder conviction. UPDATE : All Charges Dropped 10/11/22

I have no idea whether or not Syed is guilty or innocent. I finished the podcasts several years ago feeling like he was guilty.

What I do know is that the key evidence(s) presented in the trial that led to his conviction has been proven to be mostly bullshite since that time. Jay’s story, the cell phone tower records, the prosecution’s theory - corroborated by Jay’s testimony about the timeline, how she was killed, the position she was in, etc. All of it has been debunked. Add that to the fact that the one person who saw Adnan and could provide an alibi wasn’t even called to witness by his defense attorney, who was suffering from two different terminal illnesses… at the very least he needs a new trial.

The prosecution’s key witness changed his story on the record not fewer than 7 different times and admitted he had lied to police multiple times. The cell phone tower expert has also now recanted his testimony, because the prosecution failed to provide him with the fax cover sheet stating that incoming calls were not reliable for location. He’s stated he never would have testified if he had been given that information.

Liberal DA or not, Syed being a murderer or not. His trial was fricked from the jump.
