  • Adnan writes to Krista that he has received letters from friends including Laura, Ja’uan, Justin, Asia, Aaron. Adnan doesn’t tell Krista that Asia is a potential alibi. Instead, Adnan writes:

  • You should send me some pictures. We’re allowed to get them. Man, some guys in here get some really dirty pictures. I mean dirty. Let me put it to you like this - I’ve seen more than I’d wanted to of a lot of people’s wives or girlfriends to last a lifetime. While most guys are really protective of their pictures, someone’s always pulling me aside to show me their latest flick. It’s really kinda disgusting.

Thursday, June 10, 1999

  • Bilal visits Adnan

  • Undated letter from Adnan to Krista:

  • It’s weird. When I first came here I didn’t know what the heck was going on. Let me tell you it was pretty bad. But I don’t mean physically like no one was trying to beat me up or anything. People didn’t know what to think of me. I mean, first of all, everyone in here is black and always threatening to beat the hell out of someone else. And then you have me, light skinned and quiet. I didn’t say much to anyone, no one said much to me. Four months later, I can be anywhere in the entire jail, it’s huge, and someone will call “Syed!” People say “what’s up?” to me, ask how things are and I don’t even know them. The strange thing is, so many people come to me saying “if anyone bothers you, let me know” that there’s no one left to bother me. Some of it is due to the fact that I’m a Muslim and a lot is due to my personality. You know I’ve been blessed in that I can make friends almost anywhere I go. Now I can really say anywhere.”

Wednesday, July 7, 1999

  • Defense:

  • Defense Discovery Demand:

  • Since the Motions hearing, the state has provided inadequate disclosure. This letter includes all items requested by the defense.

  • Defendant can't possibly mount a defense or determine if an alibi disclosure is needed without being on notice of the alleged time of death.

  • State (per Quarles 9-19-1999 Opinion):

  • State files Motion in Limine: to bar disclosure of certain statements of an accessory-after-the-fact.

  • State files Motion for Protective Order: to withhold discovery consisting of all statements made by [the] accessory after the fact...and any affidavits or warrants making reference to such statements, citing alleged conflicts of interest of defense counsel, the State contended that...divulgence of these statements and affidavits would place the witness and evidence in jeopardy. Defense counsel's actions at best create the impression that witnesseses could have been compromised, and to allow access to the testimony of another key witness could create the impression that the public interest in a fair adjudicatory process has been compromised.
