Neither can you introduce new evidence in an appeal, except under very limited circumstances, and Asia’s alibi letter - discussed in an earlier episode - probably wouldn’t have fit into those very limited circumstances. In an appeal process, lawyers aren’t allowed to argue the facts. If the jury decided that Adnan was guilty based on those facts and based on the testimony of those witnesses, those “facts” and the “credibility” of those witnesses become a matter of record.

Once the trial is over, those facts and the jury’s determinations of credibility are concretized. The thing about a trial, however, is that it’s where the “facts” are determined and the credibility of witnesses is weighed.

It’s why trials make such good fodder for TV shows and movies: They’re basically just telling stories.
There are pretrial motions, and hearing to determine whether a piece of evidence will be able to be submitted in trial, but aside from a few procedural motions and a lot of objections, the job of an attorney during a trial is to spin a narrative (those objections are most often used to interrupt the flow of that narrative). Let me explain: Most of the “law” an attorney practices comes before and after the trail. They also suggest that a sh*tty cop might have been behind the investigation, which they imply might lead to Adnan being set free.īut if there is anything that Serial has done so far, it’s that it has practically ensured that Adnan will never be released from prison for the murder of Hae Min Lee. They don’t really offer that many new details, although they do out Jay’s last name, specifically against the wishes of the people behind the Serial podcast. The Douche Bagginses over on The Daily Mail have a piece of scuttlebutt on Serial up on their website today, suggesting there is “new hope” for Adnan Syed, thanks to the Sarah Koenig podcast.
