148. The Adnan Syed Innocence Fraud Exposed

In a legal tour de force, Baltimore State's Attorney Ivan Bates laid bare the fraud on the court perpetrated by Adnan Syed and his supporters in the failed motion to vacate his conviction produced by former State's Attorney Marylin Mosby. In 88 pages, Bates deconstructed the arguments for Syed's innocence, and by the time he was finished, there could be little doubt that Adnan Syed did, indeed, murder Hae Min Lee. Brett and Alice discuss the filing which exposed the lie of a carefully constructed innocence sham more than a decade in the making. https://www.stattorney.org/media-center/press-releases/3042-state-s-attorney-announces-withdrawal-of-motion-to-vacate-judgement-in-adnan-syed-case Check out our new True Crime Substack the True Crime Times at: https://t.co/26TIoM14Tg Get Prosecutors Podcast Merch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/prosecutors-podcast/ Join the Gallery on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/4oHFF4agcAvBhm3o/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ProsecutorsPod Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prosecutorspod/ Check out our website for case resources: https://prosecutorspodcast.com/ Hang out with us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@prosecutorspod

I enjoy both of their podcasts. Question: How has your perspective of the world changed in the past ten years?
With that accent

Maybe don’t play devils advocate for a beautiful child’s suspected killers. I get it they’re white girls. Sheesh.
Fantastic Analysis of the Law

Rosey and Crime

These episodes challenge my thinking and I have changed or affirmed my opinion on several high profile cases. Now for the question. What is the biggest legal disagreement you have had, and how did Brett concede that Alice was right? Also, is there something non-law-related that you disagree about?
Great discussion

Great podcast. The hosts are extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Alice is absolutely lovely and brilliant. Brett is almost as lovely and brilliant. They offer great insight, encourage listeners to critically think and welcome diverse viewpoints and healthy discussion. I thoroughly enjoy the knowledge shared on Legal Briefs and theories on The Prosecutors. I love the tidbits they share about their experiences and families. Not sure if y’all are still doing questions, this one may have been asked already. What is your favorite baseball team? And what is your favorite concession food and beverage?
