[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did anyone else watch the first episode of "The Case Against Adnan Syed" on HBO last night? I was enthralled with Serial a few years ago and I feel myself getting sucked back in.

After being overturned and it looking like he might get a new trial, Adnan's conviction was reinstated by Maryland's highest court on Friday.

I admittedly don't remember some of the details of the case as when I was fresh off listening to Serial

From what i read and heard, it wasn't a fair trial. I'm neither the judge or the jury or the investigator but would like for a competent team to conduct this case without preconceived biases and solve this mystery so victim and accused can finally get justice.[/quote]

The defense attorney Adnan paid 50 grand for and hired was disbarred in 2001 for purposely losing cases so she can win more money with the appeal. She was a big timer in Baltimore County too. Adnan also was denied bail as a minor because his birthdate on booking papers said May 21st 1980 so it listed him as 18.   The death penalty for adults who commit homicide  was still a thing in Maryland  back then so for a brief period of time he genuinely thought he was getting capital punishment. I can’t imagine how horrifying it must have felt as a 17 year old high school kid.

I do believe Adnan is innocent. He was asking the cops when he can go home and finish his annotated bibliography for school on the day they arrested him and took him down to the station for questioning. The HBO doc goes into this more, but for a few hours, they questioned a minor without letting him
Know he had the right to have an attorney question. The detectives kept telling him
It’s okay, just tell us what you did and one told him “I get mad at my ex wife too, man”, and Adnan didn’t have any idea what they were talking about. [/quote]
