Baltimore prosecutors call for Adnan Syed's murder conviction to be VACATED
They don’t like convicting people in Baltimore.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Baltimore prosecutors filed motion to vacate Adnan Syed's conviction on Wednesday

  • They say they no longer have 'confidence' in the integrity of his conviction

  • Syed, now 40, was convicted in 2000 of killing his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee

  • His case drew national attention following the debut season of Serial in 2014

  • But prosecutors long insisted that evidence against Syed was overwhelming

  • Now the state asks that he be released without bond until a new trial is set
The office of Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby also recommended in the motion that Syed, who is currently serving life behind bars, be released without bond pending retrial.

The motion says that prosecutors are not asserting that Syed is innocent in the case, but that 'the State no longer has confidence in the integrity of the conviction'. # id) ?>

1 So I ask....
Is it a Soros backed Black DA playing politics for the Mid-terms where a Blackman was convicted of killing an Asian Female.

Or is there really enough evidence to support a retrial?

Either way, the DA has just given itself Black eye.

2 One wonders why she is exerting herself — she lost the Democratic primary and so will only be working there a few more months.

3 Mosby has a court date herself someday (it was scheduled for next week but is being postponed).

She is up on charges of perjury among other issues.
.
I suppose she thinks that if she shows a lot of activism it might impress a jury
