Current The murder of Hae Min Lee *Adnan Syed conviction REINSTATED

[Kurve]

Hae Lee Min was a Korean-Amercian highschool student who was last seen alive on January 13, 1999 in Baltimore County, Maryland. Her body was found four weeks later in Leakin Park.

Lee's ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed was initially convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life in prison plus 30 years. In 2014, the hit podcast Serial covered the murder, which brought renewed attention to the case with a follow up podcast Undisclosed - The State V. Adnan Syed

Syed has served over 20 years in prison and was today ordered to be released with his conviction overturned, the judge ruling that the state violated its legal obligation to share exculpatory evidence with Syed’s defense.

There are other suspects.

Twenty three years in prison that had he been handed the death penalty, in that time he'd likely have been executed.

It's super interesting. I don't know whether he is innocent, but he should never have been convicted based on the case presented.

It's shocking he was convicted imo.

Jay Wilds, the prosecutions star witness against Syed has admitted to lying and given an explanation as to why. The cell phone records that appeared to back Jay's story up in placing him near Leakin Park were unreliable. No forensic evidence could place Syed anywhere near the crime scene or Hae Min Lee, there's nothing.

Information on two new suspects.

Who are the two suspects?​

Wednesday’s court filing did not name the two alternate suspects in the case, citing an ongoing investigation.

Prosecutors said that the two alternate suspects were both known to the initial 1999 murder investigation and were not properly ruled out or disclosed to the defence.

One of the suspects was ruled out by police based on faulty polygraph tests, the documents state.

Both suspects have criminal records, with one convicted of attacking a woman in her car and the other convicted of serial rape and sexual assault.

According to the new court documents, one of the suspects had threatened to kill Lee around the time of her murder.

He said that “he would make [Lee] disappear. He would kill her,” the documents state.

Prosecutors said in a statement that the two individuals now suspected in the case “may be involved individually or may be involved together”.

She said that “the state no longer has confidence in the integrity of the conviction” based on doubts about the validity of cellphone records as well as new information about two unnamed suspects.

Prosecutors asked a judge to overturn Syed’s conviction, grant him a new trial “at a minimum” and release him on bail or on his own personal recognizance while the investigation continues.

So I think one of those suspects must be the guy who found the body - Alonzo Sellers - he was given 2 polygraphs and passed the second one - but there was some dispute with its validity? I looked him up on the Maryland court site today and he has a long history of assaults etc including felonies …

One of them is believed to be this person.

In it, Ms Koenig named Ronald Lee Moore, a career criminal and accused murderer from Baltimore, as a suspect in Lee’s slaying.

Moore, who died by suicide in a Louisiana prison in 2008, was previously convicted of burglary and was also suspected in a series of other burglaries, unsolved sexual assaults and murders across Maryland.

He was released from prison just 10 days before Lee’s disappearance and death.

He was part of the original investigation but DNA found at the crime scene did not match him. It also didn’t match Syed.

It is not clear if the new DNA touch testing has now tied him to the case.

Following his 2008 death, Moore has been tied to at least two unsolved murders of young women around the same time as Lee’s slaying.

In 2020, Moore was identified as the killer of 23-year-old Shawn Marie Neal who was found strangled to death in her condo in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, in 1996.

No one was ever charged in Neal’s slaying and the case went cold, until DNA from the murder scene was finally linked to Moore almost 25 years on.

In 2013, Moore was also named as a suspect in the 1999 murder of Annelise Hyang Suk Lee in Baltimore.

It is not clear if Moore is one of the two alternate suspects now suspected in Lee’s murder.

DNA is back from testing. Adnan has been formally exonerated. All charges dropped from Baltimore DA.

Next will be to see if they have a DNA match for anyone else

Sayed's conviction has been reinstated and a lot of people are upset at the reason why.

Lee's family had filed an appeal, arguing that they were not properly notified of the efforts to release Syed last year.

The Maryland appeals court ruled in their favor, saying officials failed to provide sufficient notice for Lee's family to attend the hearing.

A new hearing will be held about the evidence to vacate Syed's conviction; the previous murder charges have been reinstated in the interim.

Adnan Syed's murder conviction is reinstated months after he was freed

A new hearing about the evidence to vacate Syed’s conviction will be held to allow Hae Min Lee's family to attend.

Wow

 

[Bunk Moreland]

It’s described as a procedural error and it’s not expected Syed will return to prison.

Basically they’re scheduling another hearing because last time Lee’s family was not given fair notice and thus the opportunity to be heard. They now will be.

The space is still very divided, The Prosecutors and hugely popular, have done a 14 part podcast analysing the case. At the end of it all, they still think Syed is probably guilty.
