Case highlighted in podcast moves through appeal

Associated Press  

BALTIMORE — A 15-year-old murder case that landed a popular teenager from Baltimore County behind bars for life is being revived in a podcast that offers more questions than answers about the crime and its fallout. Nine episodes in, the podcast has attracted more than 1.5 million listeners per episode worldwide and turned Syed into something of a household name, inspiring a dedicated fan base, re-cap blogs and even spin-off podcasts, not to mention heated debates around countless water coolers and dinner tables about Syed’s guilt or innocence. The primary points Brown makes in his appeal are some of the same reasons Koenig told listeners in her podcast’s first episode that she decided to investigate the case: there were no eye-witnesses tying Syed to the crime, and Syed’s attorney, Cristina Gutierrez, failed to interview a witness who said she was with Syed at the time Lee was killed. Brown in his appeal says Gutierrez knew about Asia McClain, a classmate of Syed’s who saw him in the library around the time prosecutors say Lee was killed. The Maryland Court of Special Appeals asked prosecutors to respond to the post-conviction appeal in September to see if they too believed Syed had ineffective counsel in a move Brown said is highly unusual.
