Reply to comment by WebbityWebbs in Maryland Court of Appeals reinstates Adnan Syed's murder conviction by nowhathappenedwas

It's not just about one case. It's about fixing systematic issues that were present in the Motion to Vacate Syed's conviction. It affects a lot more than just Adnan Syed. It's the original motion to vacate that has "wasted" tax payer dollars, not what is currently going on.

I think you're just biased from an equally opposing perspective. You're ignoring that the basis for the vacate was grounded on prosecutorial misconduct that the court agreed with. Can't pretend to care about systemic issues then ignore that. That's disingenuous.

The alleged Brady violations in this case are yet to be proven though.

Any attempt to retry the case would be the waste of taxpayer money, was my point.

They may not have to retry the case. If a new motion to vacate fails, then Adnan Syed remains a convicted murderer.

Good point. I’m slipping.

I think Adnan is very guilty, always have. That said, he's done enough time in prison. It's time to move on. He does not strike me as a repeat offender. "Life imprisonment" sometimes means a 25 year sentence.
