If you haven’t seen the @hbomax docuseries, or listened to the @serial #podcast regarding #AdnanSyed, it’s a pretty clear case of miscarriage of justice. While it isn’t the only such case, it is one that has become representative of the notion that our criminal justice system...

...is irrevocably broken and corrupt. Adnan and I are almost the same age. As I think about the 20 years that have passed since high school, the many troubles, travels and triumphs they contained and think that another was robbed at his chance at such because a couple of...

...corrupt detectives, and a prosecutor with political motive stacked the deck against him, my heart just aches. For Adnan, for his friends, and for his family. Nothing can bring back Hae Min Lee, but murdering another man by prolonged, unjust incarceration is...

...poor respect to her memory. He was offered a plea bargain that would have let him out in 4 years and didn’t take it. Guilty people don’t do that. And because he gambled with his character as his opening stake, he’s being forced to pay for it with the rest of his life...

...All because the Baltimore Prosecutor’s office would rather sit silently on an ill won victory than concede that they might have made a mistake and try to make right on it. The evidence that led to this conviction is a cruel joke, and the product of career justice officials...

...who have put career well ahead of justice. They’re right about one thing though: Adnan should not be given a second trial. He should be exonerated and acquitted entirely, and his family compensated for over two decades of gross injustice.

I’m not a big soap box kind of guy. I don’t get political, or at least not much. And I try to understand as much as I can about a thing before taking any kind of firm position. But even if Adnan did murder Hae Min Lee (he didn’t; his past 20 years are not conducive with guilt)...

...then at the very least, he was convicted on the poorly constructed lies of the police department and another scared teenager who would have said just about anything to get out of the hot seat, himself. Watch the docuseries. Make your own conclusions thereby...

...and when you’re as outraged as I am, lend your voice to all the rest like @rabiasquared who just want to see this innocent man released from prison. Okay, end of rant. #freeadnan #acquitadnan
