First para - the police went after Adnan and found out Jay borrowed his car and phone that day. He's stated that he was scared the police would arrest him for dealing. I don't know about anyone's motivations after that, all I'm saying is the circumstances are dodgy AF.

Second para - I don't know, but that particular force was proven to be institutionally corrupt and we already know they withheld evidence from the defence. So I don't trust them.

Ultimately, either Adnan did it and he's been let off because of lovely policing, or he didn't do it and the real culprit has never been put in prison. Neither option means Hae's got justice, which is disgusting.

I don't think that you have a plausible theory of the crime. I don't see a likely reason why Jay would falsely implicate himself and Adnan in the murder of Adnan's ex-girlfriend.

Alternate Theory 1: I don't believe that e.g. Jay killed Adnan's ex-girlfriend and was trying to pin it on Adnan. Where is the motive for Jay to kill Adnan's ex-girlfriend?

Alternate Theory 2: If you believe that there is absolutely no truth to Jay's testimony--it was 100% made up by the cops and Jay was forced under coercion by the police to implicate himself and Adnan in the murder of Adnan's ex-girlfriend, then you also have to believe things like:

1) the below sequence of police interviews in the case files was a false flag operation

silence_kit posted:

- Police pull Adnan's cell phone call logs, and find a call to/from Jenn.
- Jenn was approached by police, and first didn't say anything
- Jenn came back with a lawyer, and said that Jay told her that Adnan killed his ex-girlfriend
- Police interview Jay, who says that Adnan killed his ex-girlfriend

2) Jenn's personal lawyer advised her to potentially implicate herself in the crime, to lie, and to go along with the police conspiracy to frame Adnan

3) Jay did not actually lead the cops to Adnan's ex-girlfriend's car. Multiple people in the Baltimore police department earlier found her car, conspired to hide the car, only to have Jay reveal it at an opportune time to support the case

I'm sorry, but I don't find that believable at all. You've really got to be ideologically committed to Adnan's innocence to believe stuff like that. If you do believe stuff like that, then why didn't the police just plant Adnan's DNA all over the crime scene? If you believe in stuff like that, there is no amount of evidence that could convince you that Adnan committed the crime.

I think their objection (not yours, but theirs) is that my posts have the WRONG politics, not that they involve politics.

My speculation about why Adnan was released is indeed speculation, but it can easily be disproven if more information about the investigation gets released. I am very skeptical though that we will hear anything more about the investigation when the press about Adnan being released dies down however.

I haven't mentioned a single thing about politics in this thread. You're posting multi-page screeds with elaborate point-by-point breakdowns on your personal theory about this murder, based on what even you admit is an incomplete amount of information. That's gross and weird. This woman's murder was a tragedy, it isn't some argument you can actually win. Hence...

You made a post about how it is politically incorrect to create narratives surrounding Adnan about how he was an honors student and his mom thinks that he is a great guy, so how could he be capable of committing the crime?

It’s not my own personal theory about the murder. It’s the theory of the prosecution of the original case.

If you REALLY believe that Hae Min Lee’s murder was a tragedy, then I think you should be a little disgusted in the way Adnan was released. Hae Min Lee’s family is objecting to it, as they should be.

The new prosecutor is basically just stopping short at saying that he was innocent but is offering extremely flimsy justifications for it. They didn’t find his DNA on a pair of shoes and instead found 4 other people’s DNA? What? Was it other suspects’ DNA? “No comment.” I question whether they are really investigating alternate suspects.

They should have just honestly said: “Adnan has done enough time for his crime, given that he was only a juvenile” and released him. I would have been ok with that.

Who killed her?

Was it the recent ex-boyfriend who told people he was going to kill her? The one who's friend saw the body and helped bury it and told multiple people about it and how he was scared of Adnan before the police talked to him and knew where the car was before the police?

Or was it someone else?

Dude almost assuredly did it, but spent over 20 years in the american prison system and the prosecution commited some pretty clear Brady violations. Release seems like the right and ethical decision.

Edit: Though I agree that framing it as due to emergent exculpatory evidence reeks of rear end protecting.

Yeah, Adnan's 'exoneration' is very likely a publicity stunt.

edit: It could have been a ploy to look good for a jury. The State's Attorney for Baltimore is currently indicted for federal fraud and perjury charges. Initially, her trial was scheduled for Sept. 16, and got postponed to March 23rd 2023. The motion to vacate Adnan's sentence was filed right before the jury selection was scheduled to take place for the now-delayed September 16th trial.

After the trial you don't need extra evidence to maintain a verdict.

Plus he's never going to have a normal life because he's a murderer.

On top of that the murder very much was first degree murder. It was premediated and deliberate.

On the other hand, Adnan was only a 17 year old kid when he killed his ex-girlfriend. I tend to agree that we should not treat the actions of minors with the same level of culpability as an adult. They don't have the same level of judgment as adults. Serving 20 years in prison for the crime I don't think is unfair.

Him spending his entire life in jail isn't gonna bring Hae back. If he has been rehabilitated and is unlikely to be a danger to society he should be released.

Considering he hasn't admitted to doing it there isn't a lot of evidence he's rehabilitated though.

20 years isn't unreasonable, from a quick search in the UK someone under 18 could be out in 12 years for murder. Maybe a bit more for premediated but not by much:
