From the post: "The former classmate of Adnan Syed’s who could hold the key to unraveling his conviction in the murder of Hae Min Lee has written a new affidavit reasserting that she was with Syed at the exact time the state argued that he killed his ex-girlfriend in 1999, and alleging that the original prosecutor in the case essentially convinced her not to participate in the appeals process." - Stephen Mack

Fascinating. Reinforces one of my strongest takeaways from the podcast, that prosecutor Kevin Urick is hopelessly corrupt. - Stephen Mack

BTW, I love reading real depositions and affidavits. - Stephen Mack

It's interesting contrasting their two recollections - in his the details are vague, and he has no notes, but he insists on an absolute (No, I absolutely didn't do that thing she said.) Hers is a lot more detailed, specific, and she mentions that she took notes during the conversation. - Jennifer Dittrich

Jennifer, yeah -- he's such a slime ball. Even in this brief excerpt of his interview with the blaze, he's contradicting himself. He says she told him it was to get the family off her back: "She definitely told me that she wrote what she wrote, was to appease the family, to get them off her back … that’s what I recall, the gist of the conversation, that she wrote something to get the family off her back, which can be interpreted that she was getting pressure.” Infuriating! There's a HUGE difference between what McClain probably told him ("I'm finally getting around to writing this affidavit so that the family will stop calling me") versus how he spun it as, "Oh, she made up the whole thing because Syed's family was pressuring her." SLIME. BALL. - Stephen Mack
