For all the complaining I hear about Sarah Koenig's supposedly pro-defense bias, I completely disagree with that and this is one example showing why. Koenig tried to poke holes in McClain's belief that she saw him on January 13. But the holes she was trying to poke were pretty flimsy, and she...

I really do appreciate your trying to answer the question. So, fair enough, you think the body was buried between 6 and 7 pm. Why, then, does Jay say it was buried at midnight in his recent interview? He'd claimed it was 6-7 pm during his second police interview, and during the 2nd trial...

First, there is zero evidence that the police "framed" Adnan. I personally do not believe that. I do believe that the police got bamboozled by Jay's Allah-hu-Akbar shtick, and sincerely believed that Adnan committed the murder (despite all character evidence to the contrary, and despite a...

She forgot. She was too busy. She couldn't be bothered. She assumed her law clerk did it. No one can know now. One thing we do know is that she listed over 80 so-called alibi witnesses, and I believe called a few of them to the stand. The problem with being sloppy and listing huge numbers of...

Why can't you answer the question, if you believe the verdict was correct? It is amazing how difficult it is to elicit the most basic facts from anyone who thinks he is guilty. And it's difficult for a reason: the only evidence against him is the word of a single person, and that word is a house...

Back to the facts of the case... I still do not understand what time of day or night Jay Wilds helped bury the body. Can someone defending the verdict answer that for me?

Let me vent about something else while I'm speaking to you about myself as a prosecutor, by the way. Jay Wilds openly confessed to commiting conspiracy to commit murder. The sentence for conspiracy is identical to that of First Degree Murder. This idiot, Kevin Urick, has to this day failed to...

And by the way, in fairness, sure it's possible that he heard a word or two in some other language that Adnan could sputter out, much like you can sputter out "Ciao" and "grazie" or whatever. When you add up the massive volume of other inconsistencies in his story though, including the "Allah is...

There is not a single witness who can testify that he was fluent in some other language. Every witness who knows him can confirm that he spoke only English. Despite the prosecutor's tarring of him at trial as a "Pakistani," he was born in downtown Baltimore and had visited the country of his...

There is an abundance of case law from appellate courts making it clear that a defense attorney's failure to contact an alibi witness constitutes ineffective assistance of counsel under the 6th Amendment. The "law" you are looking for, to be specific, is the 6th Amendment, as that amendment is...

The Innocence Project is preparing to file motions with the courts in the near future. <modsnip>

While you're at it, can you fill me in on what time of day or night the supposed burial of the body took place? Can you also tell me how it's possible that Jay Wilds heard Adnan Syed speaking in Arabic on his cellphone on the day of the murder, when Syed doesn't speak Arabic or any other...

Correct. There are 4 versions, and zero explanations from you or the state as to why there are 4 versions.

But enough of the lawyer talk. Since some of you are convinced of guilt, can you tell me where Jay Wilds first spotted the victim's body? I'll give you a hint: he claims it was when Syed popped his car trunk open and showed the body to him. So, my question is where did the trunk pop occur?

There isn't. The issue isn't whether she was called to the stand, by the way. I see repeated confusion on this point. The issue is whether Gutierrez bothered to even contact her to verify her story and investigate any necessary factual issues. This is literally a completely made up theory. It...
