Today is a big day for Adnan and everyone who has been fighting for him! A DNA motion has been filed seeking testing of the victim Hae Min Lee's clothing and shoes and the rape kit. Items that HAVE NEVER BEEN TESTED BEFORE. This could literally lead to the killer. ALSO...

Just as significant as the substance of the petition is the form. The PARTIES to the motion are big news: first, Adnan's attorney is finally revealed. I never publicly shared who I hired to pick up the case after our last appeal was denied so that she could work in peace..

...not be bugged by media, not give the State any inkling as to what was now going on, etc. Adnan is represented by none other than one of MD's finest post conviction attorneys @SuterLaw! Erica is a personal friend but more importantly, she has been personally committed...

...to the case long before she was ever hired. She wrote about it, came to every #FreeAdnan event, believed in his innocence. Remarkably, last year something we never could have predicted happened: Erica was hired as the ED of the Innocence Project at UB!

...this is the innocence clinic that has had a hand in virtually every exoneration in Baltimore. Ever since last year, Adnan has officially been represented by the Innocence Project. In the past they have assisted but never been in the lead. It was an incredible win for us.

And then, thanks to Erica's incredible, diligent work, the @BaltimoreSAO office came to the position that Adnan's conviction needed a second look. For the first time in 23 years, we are not fighting the State anymore. They've joined us in this motion and I'm very grateful.

It's not unheard of but is rare. It happens usually when the State believes the defendant may in fact be innocent. I'm in tears typing this because of how long and hard we have fought to make people understand that ADNAN IS INNOCENT. Thousands of tears and prayers for this.

We are closer than ever to learning who killed Hae Min Lee and exonerating Adnan. I'll be on Instagram live in five minutes to discuss the motion and evidence, my handle is rabiasquared2. Come join the discussion, be there in real time as we #FreeAdnan!
