The case of Adnan Syed is unique in the attention it received. But a reason he was set free — because prosecutors withheld evidence that may have exonerated him — isn't uncommon.

the conviction filed by prosecutors. They now have 30 days to decide whether to proceed with a new trial or drop the charges against Syed, who has long maintained his innocence.

In the motion to vacate, two Brady violations were cited: the prosecution's failure to disclose evidence pointing to any alternative suspect and the failure to disclose that one of the suspects in the original investigation had threatened to kill Lee.

America prosecutor pride, not values. People in America always need a scapegoat to take heat off police.

Worth noting that the Maryland DA has stated categorically that all case files, including details of these two suspects, *had* been made available to the defense.

This behavior is ,was and always will be the way the justice dept works. Prosecutors further their careers by a conviction rate . When they enter private practice , conviction rate sets the value of the remainder of their careers . Incentive to cheat ?

We need a good house cleaning! Start from the bottom: cops then Get the scrub brushes out for the District Attorney's & Judges!!

He's already served 20 years, right? What are the charges? Please not pedophilia or a child. If it's not murder, shoot, time served if guilty?

Listen to the Undisclosedpod to learn about the evidence that was withheld in Adnan's case.

“There were at least 2,400 exonerations in the US between 1989-2019 & in 44% of cases it was the withholding of potentially exonerating evidence that resulted in a prisoner's release.” It’s an honor system where they alone get to decide what to share w/defense. Not even w/judges

StopAsianHate This Blacksupremacist murdered His Asian Gf

Lol - liberal radicalized democrat opinion outlets that pretend to be FakeNews like always falls on the side of the murderer and does not speak for the Victim. This guy is beyond doubt guilty and should be rotting in a Filipino jail forever.

That prosecutor should lose his license and go to jail for tampering with the injustice system

Being required to were a GPS monitor and report to the authorities isn't being 'free'.

I know we all probably might have heard about Bitcoin but don't know how it works, I tried it in a week ago by a man who recommended me to Samantha_M078 on Twitter he guides me through and i made a return of $10500 after a week of trading, connect with her

Exactly.

You know what evidence they didn’t withhold? His cell phone was geolocated to the same park/time where his ex girlfriend was found murdered that night. And his jealous controlling stalking of her that day. And his lying to police about when he last saw her…DomesticViolence

Oh my gosh I did not know he is free!

I haven’t seen anything that he innocent. Why did the Maryland AG just say he was blind sided on the decision to let the guy out? Been much scrutiny and a podcast on case. All we got is a political prosecutor on way out doing more damage.

Entire US CJ system is just about assigning collective blame to whomever we think deserves it in the moment and making sure that they pay the price for it, above all else.

Will he get compensation and is there a gofundme page for him already Show me the way. 💰

Okay..?

Democrat murders 18 yr old Conservative because of his political beliefs. Vehicular Homicide Media silence...

Yet I can almost promise NPR won’t publish anything about the ND democrat who ran over a teenager with his truck for being a conservative. NPR will ignore that entirely.

I feel bad for the victim's family
