He does not write back to Asia, has no contact with her via phone or in person.

Adnan passes both letters on to his lawyer.

She writes a second letter dated Mato Adnan as well.

The very next day, on MaAsia writes him a letter telling him she visited his parents and remembers seeing Adnan at the library after school on January 13th.

Adnan was arrested on February 28th, 1999.

Hae Min disappeared on January 13, 1999.

So here is a bit of an outline, so it’s clear what happened when: I was in law school when Adnan was arrested and still in law school when he was convicted about a year later, and I can tell you that passionate law students could have defended him better.

I maintain that work because it keeps me connected to what I’m pretty damn good at and to the community, and hello I can get fresh kabobs and chai across the street.įrom the chatter I’ve seen online there seems to be some confusion as to the timeline of events with Asia, the alibi witness who should have been at Adnan’s trial but wasn’t, thanks to his shoddy legal representation. But I do keep that tiny space Sarah described, in a little strip mall, to meet and work on the infrequent immigration cases I maintain.

To that extent I’m a National Security Fellow with the New America Foundation, run a law enforcement training firm, and work as a CVE consultant on various projects. For the past three years I’ve spent most of my time in the field of CVE, “Countering Violent Extremism”. I’ve been in the field of immigration law for around 14 years, and keep my foot in that door with select clients. Lastly, if you’re confused about what I do, I am a lawyer with a very limited legal practice.I am taking a firm side, the same side I’ve been on for 15 years.

This is not a court of law and I don’t represent him, and I’m not a journalist so NO, I don’t have to be objective. I, as you may have guessed, don’t just believe Adnan is innocent, I know it.I badly want her and their team to say “hell yes Adnan is innocent”, but they’re not there and I don’t know if they’ll ever be. I’m pretty sure we don’t agree on many aspects of the case. Having said that, anything I write, post, tweet is strictly from me and doesn’t represent TAL or Sarah Koenig.I honor their incredible work, and will only write about issues raised in episodes already aired. Knowing the immense time and resources they’ve put into this story, I will never trump anything they haven’t yet talked about in the podcast. I don’t work for TAL, I only cooperated fully as they spent the last year deconstructing the case. I have no idea what future episodes will be like, who exactly was interviewed, or what they said. First, I took the case to the producer Sarah Koenig but was not involved in TAL’s (This American Life) investigation other than answering the questions posed to me and giving them whatever documents I had.
