BREAKING NEWS!!️ The conviction of Adnan Syed, whose case was the focus of the podcast "Serial" and an HBO docuseries, was just vacated. Adnan is represented by Erica Suter of @UBaltLaw's Innocence Project Clinic.⁠ ⁠ Adnan has maintained his innocence for the last 23 years, ever since he was accused of killing his ex-girlfriend at the age of 17.⁠ ⁠ The court concluded today that Adnan's trial was unfair because the State failed to disclose key exculpatory evidence. The failure of the prosecution to turn over favorable evidence to the defense is known as a Brady violation.⁠ ⁠ In the last three months alone, three Innocence Project clients — Mallory Nicholson, John Galvan, and Herman Williams — have been exonerated in cases which involved Brady violations that contributed to their wrongful convictions.⁠ ⁠ According to the National Registry of Exonerations, the concealment of exculpatory evidence is the most common type of misconduct in wrongful convictions and occured in 44% of the first 2,400 exoneration cases in the US.⁠ ⁠ The integrity of the legal system requires accountability for not only Adnan's wrongful conviction, but also the pain the State’s unlawful conduct caused to Hae Min Lee’s family.⁠ ⁠ #rp @innocenceproject 📷️: Steve Ruark/AP Images for The Innocence Project
