Maryland v. Syed

Brief of Amici Curiae National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and Maryland Criminal Defense Attorneys' Association Regarding the State's Application for Leave to Appeal.

Brief filed: 09/15/2016

Documents

Maryland v. Syed

Court of Special Appeals of Maryland; Case No. 10432

Argument(s)

The Court must hold the State to at least the same high standard that it applies to prisoners' § 7-109 applications. A prompt retrial is better calculated to promote public confidence in the Maryland criminal justice system. Amici urge the Court to deny the State's application for leave to appeal.
