2:09 am
thousands of people took the opportunity to pause and reflect on 70 years of the royal reign from during states. this is, you do notice that the monarchy of england and especially for mcqueen ventures still have such a respect from the auto auto deduction. the grants mother for money in britain, the queen was a constant. government rose and fell and were replaced. economy fluctuated, but the royal family continued. the size of the crowds share the loyalty and affection with which the queen was regarded. the sense of what has been lost with her passing may take some time yet to sink in, pull brennan al jazeera central london. the us judge has thrown out of baltimore man's murder conviction in a case highlighted by one of the most popular podcast ever ad nancy spent nearly 23 years behind bars after being sentenced to life in prison for the death of his ex
2:10 am
girlfriend, him in li see it is being released into home detention and a decision is going to be made within a few weeks on whether he's to face a re trial or whether he will be declared innocent. we were approached by the office of the public defender and eric and she'll talk to you. they wanted to come to. c us and they came to work in a pinch just to do under the j r a. they wanted us to make a modification of the sentence. he still qualifies for reduction and a modification of the sentence. but once we got the file and we were in possession of it, and we started to look at it, we saw several problematic issue. and so then we began an investigation that went beyond just having a j r. a motion in which that, that conviction would seem based off of our conviction integrity unit and re investigations of the claims of actual innocence. we actually re, investigated the matter. let's bring in karen greenberg, she's director of the center on national security at fordham university school of law. she joins us from new york. let's delve into what we just heard. the matter
2:11 am
was re investigated, but admin, see it has been in jail. meanwhile, for 22 years, why is all this happening now? well, that's a really good question. this case has been, had several times since that original conviction. and there has been a judge in the past 2 also said what they should should be overturned and so now and he was over rule. so this is not the 1st time it's been reconsider. so why now important is because of the serial my calf that you referred to, call the alibi which re theory about the evidence presented in k. and i can go into what the cast is, but even public attention to it. and i think it forces the prosecutors to look at this again. and when they did it, they saw that a number of issues raised by the us actually looked at somewhat sketchy. and that
2:12 am
had to do with an alibi that was there, but not presenting. and it had to do with the timeline about how the murder was submitted and when it was submitted. and the fact that we're presenting them before . and the timeline in the course did not match out. and this is something that's not cast and brought into the public consciousness. so actually very important. and if you asked about the timing, the timing did follow the cat and the reaction to the gap. but karen, long time to reach a case it takes a long time. yes, that was going to be that just to my question about cal came out. it was published in 2014. we're in 2022. i mean it's 8 years later. and yet you're telling us, and i don't believe you, but you're telling us that it's essentially taking 8 years for the influence of this global phenomenon to trickle through the courts. it's taking that long, but it's taken even longer than that. when you look at the fact that there were
2:13 am
doubt before that, and i think there are many problematic thing about this can not just, it was brought up on the play catch it. yeah, this is an incredibly long time. but, you know, it takes a while for cases to go through the court and look at took a long, it takes a long time to get prosecutors to say, yes, we will. we consider mistakes that our system may have made. i think to your point, which is why did it take this law? i'm not the guessing. it's okay. did it take this long? i'm suggesting that it took that long to get it again onto the screen of saying, look, what are the issues here? there are problems, i think there were also issues in this case in terms of the anti muslim message of the prosecutors when they tried to get. and again, that getting to that may have taken some time as well, making that point. and just to be clear, karen, we don't know if this is the end of the road for and then see if there could still
2:14 am
be a new trial. there could be, they have 30 days to we try to decide whether or not they want to do that. again, i, it's hard for me to imagine, given what some out, given the evidence that has been presented both here and suggested in the cat that they want to do that. but they've already taken away 23 years of this person's life . and, you know, you could argue that he served a certain sentence and if he made, he did not commit, it looks like. and so i would be very surprised if they decide to prosecute again. but will know within 30 days, you know, current, the prosecutor said, quote, the state no longer have confidence in the integrity of the conviction. how just, how unusual is that, how, what does that tell us about the way the original trial was conducted?
2:15 am
well it, i think there are 2 questions they are like. how commonly does this happen? happen not, not back commonly, but what does it tell you about the original conviction and the continued decide decisions to hold up the conviction over time? i think it tells you that there are laws in the justice that the idea that it's all just about that and not about the cultural context and cultural issues that are rate. there were a number of allegations about the muslim religion raised in the trial and about how maybe this was had to do with reclaiming his, his honor after his girlfriend who had murdered broke up with him. and it had the inc, if you look at it from the point of view of all the years, you're sort of shocked at how they got away with the prophecy to open the trial. quite a with man is pakistani man, and i mean not to tell you everything you need to know about the way in which was
2:16 am
originally so i think that's important to some of your question. yeah, absolutely. karen, look, thank you very much for your insights. karen greenberg speaking to us from new york there. and of course the more than 300000000 people who listen to the serial podcast and who know the ins and outs of this trial will be, will be fascinated to see where this goes. thank you, karen that the taliban have released an american citizen. an exchange for an afghan tribal leader, how's you by sheer norris, i was serving life in the us prison on drug charges. while contractor mark frederick's had been detained in afghanistan since early 2020. hey, these who castro has more when he was mart verdes, today is 28th november 2021. a proof of life video published nearly 2 years into his captivity showed mark frere ricks in afghanistan. the former us naval officer and civilian engineer,
