#HAE MIN LEE TRIAL#

Syed has maintained his innocence and was denied a new trial by the US Supreme Court last November, as CrimeOnline previously reported. LeeвЂ™s ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, was convicted in her death and sentenced to life in prison. In 2014, the podcast вЂњSerialвЂќ looked at the murder of Hae Min Lee, also in 1999. вЂњReview of these case files revealed striking similarities between MooreвЂ™s suspected victims in Maryland and the Neal homicide in North Myrtle Beach,вЂќ North Myrtle Beach police said, according to WPDE. They found a match to Moore and discovered, during their investigation, that Baltimore County police in 2013 had posthumously named him a suspect in several unsolved burglaries and sexual assaults and the death of Annelise Hyang Suk Lee using DNA. Detectives reopened it in 2017, however, when advances in DNA technology made testing some of the samples collected from the crime scene feasible. Police determined вЂњDon GibbonsвЂќ was a fake name, and the case quickly went cold. After an employee of the condos found a womanвЂ™s body in one of the units, police identified the victim as Neal and said she had been strangled. On June 2, her boyfriend reported that she went with a man who said his name was Don Gibbons to an area condominium and did not return. Neal, from North Carolina, was in the Grand Strand area of South Carolina working for an escort service in 1996, according to police. How do you protect your children from predators?

Items being tested under this order werenвЂ™t tested during the attorney generalвЂ™s review.North Myrtle Beach police have solved a 24-year-old murder using DNA evidence, naming a man tapped as a possible suspect in the 1999 death of Hae Min Lee by the podcast вЂњSerial,вЂќ according to WPDE. His defense argued that was proof he didnвЂ™t kill Lee, but prosecutors disagreed. The Office of the Attorney General oversaw the DNA analysis of evidence in SyedвЂ™s case in 2018 and none of the samples tested positive of Syed. The Juvenile Restoration Act, which passed last year, allows those convicted as juveniles to request a sentence modification after serving at least 20 years in prison. As the case was reviewed for a possible resentencing, it became clear that it would be appropriate to pursue additional forensic testing, which wasnвЂ™t available during the original investigation or trial, prosecutors said.

SyedвЂ™s defense approached the stateвЂ™s attorneyвЂ™s officeвЂ™s sentencing review unit about SyedвЂ™s case, the stateвЂ™s attorneyвЂ™s office said in a statement. The motion requested testing the evidence for the presence of DNA. In the latest motion, SyedвЂ™s attorney argued that in such circumstances, a killer would have to be in close proximity to the victim.

Syed and Lee were high school classmates who had dated. Syed is serving a life sentence after he was convicted in 2000 of strangling Lee and burying her body in a Baltimore park.
