Serial Case Lawyer Argues Adnan Syed's Phone Records Don't Prove Anything
LatestAdnan Syed from the infamous Serial podcast is back with a new hope to get him off in the murder of Hae Min Lee—unreliable phone records.
On Monday, Syed’s lawyer C. Justin Brown filed a court motion asserting that the cell phone evidence turned over by the Baltimore police that placed Syed in Leakin Park at the time of Lee’s death were inadmissible. According to the Baltimore Sun, Brown says that the calls were submitted with a cover sheet that read “Outgoing calls only are reliable for location status. Any incoming calls will NOT be considered reliable information for location.” Syed’s original lawyer Cristina Gutierrez never knew about the cover sheet and couldn’t protest its use or have it thrown out in 2000 during Adnan’s first trial.
