This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit cocomocoe.substack.comIn this episode of Ahead of the Curve with Coco Mocoe, we dive into the ethics of true crime content—from the rise of Serial and Adnan Syed's release, to today's viral cases like the Diddy/Cassie trial, the Idaho 4, and the livestreamed murder of Mexican influencer Valeria Márquez. We explore why the families of victims like Hae Min Lee and Jeffrey Dahmer's victims are pushing back on their stories being used for entertainment—and ask: is true crime ever truly ethical? And when can mass attention help solve a case, like with Gabby Petito?We also look at global differences: how countries like South Korea, France, Germany, and New Zealand protect victims' identities, and how the U.S. often doesn't. Plus, we spotlight survivor-led justice like Gisèle Pelicot's viral case in France and why she chose to claim her identity publicly instead of going through the trial in private.If you have something to add to the discussion, please keep it respectful as you always do.

It's Baltimore, 1999. Hae Min Lee, a popular high-school senior, disappears after school one day. Six weeks later detectives arrest her classmate and ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, for her murder. He says he's innocent - though he can't exactly remember what he was doing on that January afternoon. But someone can. A classmate at Woodlawn High School says she knows where Adnan was. The trouble is, she's nowhere to be found. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This is a bonus release from our sister podcast: Legal Briefs.In a legal tour de force, Baltimore State's Attorney Ivan Bates laid bare the fraud on the court perpetrated by Adnan Syed and his supporters in the failed motion to vacate his conviction produced by former State's Attorney Marylin Mosby. In 88 pages, Bates deconstructed the arguments for Syed's innocence, and by the time he was finished, there could be little doubt that Adnan Syed did, indeed, murder Hae Min Lee. Brett and Alice discuss the filing which exposed the lie of a carefully constructed innocence sham more than a decade in the making.https://www.stattorney.org/media-center/press-releases/3042-state-s-attorney-announces-withdrawal-of-motion-to-vacate-judgement-in-adnan-syed-case Update: As expected, the judge did decide to allow Adnan Syed to remain free.

This Day in Legal History: James Earl Ray SentencedOn March 10, 1969, James Earl Ray was sentenced to 99 years in prison for the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Ray had pleaded guilty to avoid the death penalty but later recanted, claiming he was coerced into confessing. His conviction came just under a year after King was fatally shot on April 4, 1968, at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. The murder of King, a pivotal leader in the civil rights movement, sent shockwaves through the nation and intensified calls for racial justice. Ray's arrest in London after a two-month international manhunt led to one of the most scrutinized legal proceedings of the era. Despite his guilty plea, Ray repeatedly sought a retrial, arguing that he was a scapegoat in a broader conspiracy. His appeals were unsuccessful, and he remained imprisoned until his death in 1998. The King family later advocated for reopening the case, believing the government and other entities were involved in the assassination. In 1999, a civil jury in Memphis ruled in favor of the King family, concluding that the assassination was the result of a conspiracy, not the actions of a lone gunman. This verdict fueled ongoing debates about the true circumstances of King's death and the extent of Ray's role. The case remains one of the most controversial in American history, with lingering questions about the extent of government involvement. The King family's pursuit of the truth highlighted their belief that justice had not been fully served. While the official record still names Ray as the assassin, many continue to question whether he acted alone or was merely a pawn in a larger scheme.A Baltimore judge ruled that Adnan Syed, the subject of the popular Serial podcast, will remain free after reducing his life sentence to time served. Despite this decision, his 2000 murder conviction for the death of his ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, remains intact. Judge Jennifer Schiffer stated that Syed is no longer a threat to public safety and that his continued freedom serves the interests of justice. Syed was originally convicted by a state jury, but his case gained national attention due to concerns over trial errors and potential prosecutorial misconduct. He was released from prison in 2022 after prosecutors questioned the integrity of his conviction, though an appeals court later reinstated it. The ruling ensures he will not return to prison, though legal battles over his conviction continue. His case has fueled ongoing debates about wrongful convictions and the role of media in influencing the justice system.Adnan Syed of 'Serial' Podcast Will Remain Free, Judge Rules (1)The Trump administration fired Adam Cohen, the head of the Justice Department's Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces, as part of a broader effort to remove career officials. Cohen, who had just helped draft a memo expanding the task force's role in immigration enforcement, said he was shocked by the decision and insisted his work had been apolitical. His dismissal follows other high-profile removals, including three assistant U.S. attorneys in New York, two of whom prosecuted a corruption case against Mayor Eric Adams. The attorneys were placed on administrative leave after Justice Department officials resigned in protest over pressure to drop the Adams case. Additionally, Liz Oyer, the Justice Department's pardon attorney, and Bobak Talebian, who handled Freedom of Information Act requests, were also dismissed. The shake-up reflects a broader effort to reshape the Justice Department under Trump's leadership, sparking concerns over political interference in law enforcement.Trump Justice Department fires head of organized crime drug task force | ReutersU.S. immigration agents arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian graduate student at Columbia University, as part of President Trump's crackdown on certain anti-Israel activists. Khalil, a U.S. green card holder, had been active in pro-Palestinian protests and served as a negotiator with university officials. The Department of Homeland Security accused him of leading “activities aligned to Hamas” but did not provide details or charge him with a crime. His arrest was widely condemned by civil rights groups as an attack on free speech. The Trump administration also revoked $400 million in government contracts with Columbia, citing antisemitic harassment on campus. Critics argue the move is part of a broader effort to target higher education institutions and suppress pro-Palestinian activism. Khalil, who was detained at an ICE facility, had previously expressed concerns about being targeted for speaking to the media. His case has sparked legal challenges and heightened tensions over immigration enforcement and academic freedom.US immigration agents arrest Palestinian student protester at Columbia University in Trump crackdown | Reuters This is a public episode.

This episode is dedicated to Robb Chadwick, who passed away in mid-December. Robb was a great friend, a supporter of this podcast and a true Southern gentleman. His insight and knowledge of the facts of many cases, along with his kind and calm debate strategy will be missed by many. RIP, Robb.In Episode 14, State of Maryland v. Adnan Masud Syed, Lisa was joined by Robb Chadwick, a former journalist with a life-long interest in the truth of true crime and fairness for victims. Since his retirement, Robb has researched and written about a number of cases — but none more than the case of the day: the murder of Hae Min Lee by Adnan Masud Syed. On January 13, 1999, Hae Min Lee disappeared after leaving Woodlawn High School, where she was a popular athlete and scholar. Police looking for her questioned several people, including her current boyfriend and ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed. On February 9, 1999, Hae's body was found partially buried in a shallow grave in Leakin Park, in Baltimore City, Maryland. Three days later, on February 12, an anonymous tip led police to put Adnan Syed at the top of their suspect list. On February 27, 1999, Jay Wilds, an acquaintance of Syed, was interviewed by police and, early on the morning of February 28, 1999, led police to Hae's missing vehicle. Syed was convicted and sentenced to Life, plus 30 years in 2000. The case has been the topic of multiple podcasts over the years and in 2022, his conviction was vacated by a pro-defendant judge in a fixed hearing at which no one represented the interests of Hae Min Lee, or her family. On August 30, 2024, the Supreme Court of Maryland affirmed the Appellate Court of Maryland's reinstatement of Syed's conviction and held that Hae's brother, Young Lee, had the right to be heard at any future hearing seeking to vacate Syed's conviction.

Det är en kall januaridag 1999 när 18-åriga Hae Min Lee spårlöst försvinner. När hennes kropp några veckor senare hittas nedgrävd i ett skogsparti, vänds misstankarna snabbt mot hennes ex-pojkvän, Adnan Syed. Han som alltid har uppfattats som en vänlig och framgångsrik student, blir huvudmisstänkt när vittnesmål, mobildata och motiv pekar mot honom. Men vad hände egentligen den där dagen och varför är det så många detaljer som inte verkar stämma? Det har blivit dags för en del två om fallet Hae Min Lee & Adnan Syed. I förra avsnittet kunde du höra den första delen om det här fallet. Vi slutade med Haes mord och med att hennes ex-pojkvän Adnan Syed greps misstänkt för det.

OA1067 After some of the strangest post-conviction twists in US legal history, the Supreme Court of Maryland has just reinstated Serial killer Adnan Syed's conviction for the murder of his high school ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee 25 years ago. We begin by revisiting Matt's first-ever legal podcasting deep dive with Thomas on Serious Inquiries Only (SIO354) shortly after Syed's conviction was initially reinstated by the Maryland Appellate Court last April. How accurate were his predictions for what Maryland's highest court would do with this, as well as for the fallout which might follow if a new team of prosecutors were to be required to go before a new judge to actually present the evidence upon which they claimed to have brought the motion which freed Syed? Matt then briefly breaks down the Supreme Court of Maryland's lengthy decision and explains why this is one of the strongest statements for victims rights ever made by any US state court. What are the odds of the prosecution now bringing a legitimate motion for a new trial? Why doesn't Adnan Syed have to return to prison now that officially once more stands convicted of first-degree murder? And would we even be here at all if a man who has spent the last 25 years lying about a murder that he committed with his bare hands at the age of 17 hadn't been introduced to a massive international audience by the only podcast your mother has ever listened to?

Later that night, the Detectives picked Jay up at work and took him to the station for an interview. After a 50 minute unrecorded pre-interview, the tape is turned on in the early morning hours of 2/28/99 to record this interview.

We continue our look at the timeline leading up to January 13, 1999--the day Hae Min Lee was murdered.
It's perhaps the most famous case in all of true crime. On January 13, 1999, in Baltimore, Maryland, a high school senior named Hae Min Lee vanished. When her body was found, buried in a shallow grave, suspicion fell on her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed. But even now, people wonder whether he murdered her—or was framed. Sponsors: Trust Me Podcast Angi.com PlutoTV
The first season of the "Serial" podcast documented the murder of Hae Min Lee and the battle for freedom of her convicted killer, Adnan Syed. Many consider "Serial" as the series that launched the true-crime genre and sparked the podcasting revolution. Produced by the New York Times and hosted by Sarah Koenig, the podcast was briefly successful in having Syed's murder conviction vacated and was convincing enough that Jason himself donated to the exoneration fund. One reporter has done the job that American media seems to have refused to do, debunking "Serial" and making the case that Adnan Syed is indeed guilty in the death of Lee and was wrongfully exonerated. Andrew Hammel joins Jason to discuss his in-depth reporting, which was praised by the creator of HBO's “The Wire,” and lays out his case for Syed's guilt. Learn more about your ad choices.
