Did the Innocence Project stick with Adnan? In other note: Adnan was released in September 2022 in part because of the Juvenile Restoration Act
Just listening to Serial podcast episode 7 “The Opposite of the Prosecution” where SK talks to the Innocence project.
I wanted to know if the Innocence Project stuck with Adnan’s case. There’s a part in the podcast where it’s suggested that if it turns out the Innocence Project staff thought Adnan was guilty, they would quietly put away the case and keep silent about their idea of Adnan’s guilt. Well it’s no surprise under their own rule they all said in the episode they thought Adnan was “not guilty.” Which is not the same as thinking he is innocent.
This article from University Virginia Law “‘Serial’ Subject Adnan Syed, Who Was Aided by Innocence Project at UVA Law, Released From Prison” seems to suggest that the Innocence Project stuck with Adnan.
Does this mean they thought he was innocent? The article also mentions Adnan’s new public defenders. Does this mean the Innocence Project abandoned the idea of Adnan’s innocence and turned over the case to new people?
Anyway, it seems that Adnan’s quick release in September 2022 might have had to do with a new law that was passed about reevaluating life sentences for those who had served over 20 years and who were convicted below the age of 18. Adnan was convicted at 17 I believe.
How much of Adnan’s release was due to this new law, and how much was due to lack of physical evidence against him?
I’ve only heard of the Adnan Syed case and been listening to Serial and The Prosecutors podcasts for the past three days. I think there’s reasonable doubt but I’m leaning to thinking he’s probably guilty.
