Starting my actual Adnan Syed Twitter thread here. The courtroom is open and filling up.

@daniellecitron Yes, the State has moved to vacate his convictions based on under-explored alternate suspects and Brady violations:

I wrote this for @nowtoronto to amplify the call for prisoner releases not endless "lockdowns" that trap prisoners inside their cells for 22/hrs daily. Public policy designed to flatten the curve remains incomplete w/o mass releases. https://t.co/WBmIqrX05A via @nowtoronto

I just got amazing news in Adnan's case and no I can't share it yet but I've been crying for 20 minutes now and if I wasn't completely out of shape I'd do cartwheels! We will #FreeAdnan! InshaAllah.

Today, a jury did the right thing. But true justice requires much more. Michelle and I send our prayers to the Floyd family, and we stand with all those who are committed to guaranteeing every American the full measure of justice that George and so many others have been denied.

THREAD: I went to bed angry and I woke up angry. I am enraged...On the same day that ICUs were so full, more field hospitals were being built and our health experts were calling the 3rd wave of #COVID19 a "humanitarian catastrophe"...the Ontario government let us down. /1

New emergency orders announced yesterday to help limit the spread of Covid-19 are now in effect. The Toronto Police Service will continue to engage, educate and enforce, but we will not be doing random stops of people or cars. 1/2

I went for a walk yesterday evening and I encountered a young man (Deandre)in distress. I decided to record the incident in order to protect this black man from possibly becoming a statistic

Debated posting this all day. Doing it because I can’t stop thinking about this mother & daughter. They were on their way to an anti-hate rally in NYC when a man approached them...

You know you want to hear about my litigation bag. It has magic powers...

Jack Pinkofsky passed last night. It is impossible to underestimate his contributions to the advancement of the rights of the accused in Canadian law. If you get proper disclosure of a case this week, or the chance to challenge for cause on the basis of racial bias when...1/4

This is a false & extremely dangerous narrative being peddled by ⁦@JohnTory⁩ that will harm Black communities. Directing courts to misapply bail laws does nothing but further entrench poverty & despair. There is so much YOUR gov. can do, Mr. Mayor.

Let's start with the repeal of *some* MMS. This is a good thing. It will save court time, allow for more conditional sentences, and restore judicial discretion. Many of these sentences have previously been found unconstitutional.

What do you see?
