Timeline

<< The Trials

Friday, February 25, 2000 / Trial 2 / Day 21

  • Page 47: Closing Arguments

  • Verdict Sheet

  • 1:35PM: Jury deliberations begin

  • 4:25PM Verdict Read; Syed convicted of:

  • First Degree Murder (Life)

  • Kidnapping (30 years, consecutive to life)

  • False imprisonment and robbery (10 years, concurrent with kidnapping)

  • Rabia remembers going down to see Adnan that same evening, and says that's when Adnan gave her Asia's letters, (according to Serial podcast.) Adnan remembers calling Rabia on the phone, telling her about the letters, and mailing them to her.

Saturday, February 26, 2000

Monday, February 28, 2000

  • Rabia, Shamim and Tanveer meet with Gutierrez who has reluctantly agreed to meet them.

  • If they discussed Asia, Rabia did not include this information in her memo to the mosque re; new witnesses.

  • Adnan writes a letter to Yusuf

  • Adnan has been in jail/prison for one year.

Tuesday, February 29, 2000

  • NBC's Dateline airs an episode about a wrongfully convicted man.

Wednesday, March 1, 2000

  • Rabia updates the masjid committee re; the meeting with Gutierrez. Talks about reaching out to other witnesses. Doesn't mention Asia. Doesn't mention having spoken to Gutierrez about Asia. Doesn't seem like anyone knows about Asia, on this date -- except Adnan.

Friday, March 3, 2000

  • Cristina Gutierrez visits Adnan to see if he has any questions about the appeal.

Saturday, March 4, 2000

  • While Rabia has said that she remembers getting Asia's letters from Adnan on Friday, February 27, she says that Adnan remembers talking to her the weekend after he was convicted, and mailing her Asia's letters. Since there is no mention of Asia's letters in the memo about the meeting with Gutierrez, it seems like the phone call about Asia happened over this weekend. According to Adnan, this weekend is the first time Rabia heard about the letters.

  • Letter from Adnan to Rabia

  • Adnan doesn't mention Asia or her letters.

Monday, March 6, 2000

  • Cristina Gutierrez files Motion for new trial

  • Approximate: Adnan mails copies of Asia's letters to Rabia

Friday, March 17, 2000

  • Approximate: Rabia receives Asia's letters in the mail. According to Adnan, this is the first time Rabia has seen the letters.

Saturday, March 25, 2000

  • Rabia tracks down Asia. And drives her to a check cashing place to sign an "affidavit".

  • This document narrowed the alibi to 2:40PM due to Rabia's misunderstanding the verdict.

Thursday, March 30, 2000

  • Adnan and his parents write letters to Gutierrez, imploring her to use Asia's affidavit.

Monday, April 3, 2000

  • Adnan's parents write a letter to Judge Heard asking to postpone sentencing (and motion for a new trial) because Gutierrez had just been fired. (Letter received Tuesday, April 4?)

Wednesday, April 5, 2000

  • Sentencing scheduled, but postponed, so public defender Charles Dorsey could prepare. Gutierrez had just been dismissed.

Sunday, May 21, 2000

  • Adnan's 19th Birthday (This is the second time Adnan has celebrated his birthday in prison.)

Monday, May 29, 2000

  • Jet magazine issue with this photo is published and makes its way to the holding area for inmates in the "bullpen."

Tuesday, June 6, 2000

  • Adnan is sitting in the "bullpen," waiting to be sentenced. He writes to Krista:

  • You know what’s really weird? I was looking through this Jet magazine, in case you didn’t know it features African-American issues. -- Adnan tells Krista that Hae had been appearing in his dreams, and that dreams like this have a certain significance in Islam. Adnan writes that he was looking through this Jet magazine and he does a double take because the girl looks so much like Hae. Even her watch looks like Hae’s watch. Adnan writes: Take a look at it and tell me what you think. I hope I’m not going crazy.

  • Sentencing hearing with Judge Heard.

  • Adnan represented by Charles Dorsey.

  • Adnan maintains his innocence, despite Dorsey asking for leniency for a "crime of passion."

  • Adnan sentenced to:

  • Life in prison for 1st Degree Murder

  • 30 years for kidnapping (consecutive to murder)

  • 10 years for robbery (concurrent with kidnapping)

  • Motion for new trial denied: This motion was filed March 6 by Gutierrez. Dorsey didn't argue in support of this motion. He may not have been aware of it. Even Heard was surprised by the lack of response from Dorsey as to the motion for new trial.

  • Adnan Syed's Appeal filed in Court of Special Appeals (CoSA) MD. Issues raised:

  • a) Prosecutorial misconduct & Brady rule

  • b) Did court prevent Adnan from presenting evidence

  • c) Hearsay based on prejudicial nature of Hae's letter

  • d) Admission of Hae's diary

  • Maryland law allows only 10 years from the date of sentencing to file the PCR motion.

  • The state has a strong argument against federal habeas corpus on the Asia claim, because Asia's affidavit was obtained in 2000, so there is no justification for waiting another decade to start the PCR action about that issue.

Wednesday, June 7, 2000

Thursday, July 6, 2000

  • Jay's Sentencing Hearing. Jay receives a suspended sentence, not the two years prison per the plea agreement.

  • According to Adnan's appeal, Urick recommended leniency because Jay showed remorse. Adnan's appeal argues that if the trial jury had known Jay would get a suspended sentence, they would have thought this motivated Jay to lie. The defense implies that Jay knew he wasn't going to prison. But Jay didn't know. Jay thought he could get five years -- two, at the very minimum.

Friday, July 28, 2000

  • Public Defender Charles Dorsey files motion for modification of Adnan's sentence.

  • According to Adnan's IAC filing, this is a blunder. You only get to file for sentence modification once, and Dorsey filed immediately. The IAC brief claims that Dorsey wasted Adnan's one and only chance for getting a sentence modification and of course it was denied right away.

Wednesday, August 2, 2000

  • Judge Heard denies motion for sentence modification

  • Adnan's Appeal Denied by Justice John J. Bishop, Jr..

  • Justice's bio

  • Adnan's petition for post conviction relief should have been filed within one year of this date.

  • Inexplicably, Adnan waited seven years between this date and filing for post conviction relief. Maryland law allows no more than 10 years from sentencing to file for PCR. Asia's affidavit was obtained in 2000, so that can't be the reason for waiting seven years.

  • Update: Rabia wrote in her book that Adnan felt "burned" by the system, exhausted of funds, and didn't want to use up his last available option. He wanted to hold onto hope.

  • Turns out, Rabia lied to the readers of her blog when she wrote that Adnan had to wait 10 years to apply for post conviction relief. She knew Adnan could file right away, if he wanted, and she knew why he waited.

Date Unknown

  • Serial, Episode 1: Asia's fiancé comes to the door, opens it part way, tells the investigator that she cannot speak to Asia, but that from what he knows of Adnan's case, Adnan is guilty and deserved the punishment he got.

  • Rabia: Adnan’s lawyer had Asia’s letters and affidavit and set out to find her. His PI returns with terrible news. Asia won’t testify. The PI never spoke to her, but her fiance made it very clear, in a very nasty way that suggested an anti-Muslim prejudice, that Asia would not be involved and to leave them alone . . . Faced with a tough decision, [Justin Brown] decides to submit [Asia's] letters but not subpeona her for the appeal hearing.

  • According to Rabia, Justin Brown asks Adnan to take a polygraph test to determine the likelihood that he is lying about having asked Gutierrez for a plea deal. According to Rabia, Adnan passes.
