Reply to comment by [deleted] in Adnan Syed hired by Georgetown University after release from prison by SunCloud-777

There was no real evidence and the DNA excluded him and pointed to someone else. Who that is, we will probably never know because the DA is done with the case.

On a statistical level of just surface level evidence, sure statistically, he was the most likely person. But the bar of evidence is reasonable doubt. And the was plenty of reasonable doubt. It's not our place to continue to claim he's guilty. According to the state, he's innocent and that should be good enough.

Lots to argue with, but ultimately I agree that it’s decided. I don’t think he’s the best person to advocate for prisoner rehab programs, but I’m glad he is. There’s a lot of people that do abhorrent things when they’re young, they deserve a chance to make a new life after they paid their debt to society. Nothing will bring Hae Min back, but I’m still glad Adnan is attempting to do something positive with his life.
