Welcome to Legal Tea Tuesday! Today we're going over a few topics:

- Adnan Syed, the defendant who was the focus of the true crime podcast "Serial," has just been freed from prison and his murder sentence vacated. The state has 30 days to decide whether to dismiss his case or to set a new trial.

- Taylor Lorenz has a new article out on "misogyny on YouTube." She says female creators have a particular target on their backs that men don't. I have thoughts.

- Ashley Morgan-Smithline's attorney has filed a response to Brian Warner's (p/k/a Marilyn Manson) opposition to his motion to amend the subpoena for Smithline's deposition. This is the one where Warner's legal team introduced explosive information that implicates Smithline's attorney in some potential professional liability issues.

... And some Bot Sentinel tea.

CONTEXT:

SMITHLINE V. MANSON Over the years since 2016, Evan Rachel Wood began speaking publicly about domestic violence, saying she had been abused by two unnamed men. On 2/21/2021, Wood named Brian Warner p/k/a Marilyn Manson as one of her abusers, alleging that he abused her physically and emotionally during their romantic relationship which lasted between 2006 and 2010. On the same day, a handful of other women also made statements claiming to be victims of Warner's abuse. His alleged victims include Ashley Morgan Smithline, Esme Bianco, and Ashley Walters. In 6/2022, Ashley Morgan Smithline filed a lawsuit against Marilyn Manson alleging all kinds of abuses against her during a romantic relationship. In 3/2022, Marilyn Manson, filed a lawsuit against Evan Rachel Wood and Ashley Gore aka Illma Gore. In the lawsuit, he alleges four causes of action: defamation per se, intentional infliction of emotional distress, violation of computer hacking laws, and violation of laws barring impersonation over the internet.

ADNAN SYED In 1999, Adnan Syed was convicted of murdering his then-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee. They both were seniors in high school at the time. In 2014, an investigative journalist by the name of Sarah Koenig published a true crime podcast called Serial, in which she dug into the details of the murder, the investigation, and Syed's conviction. This podcast blew up in popularity, and as a result, a swell of people were calling for an investigation into Syed's conviction. After several unsuccessful attempts to appeal the results (both before and after Serial's publishing), on 9/19/2022, Circuit Court Judge Melissa Phinn vacated Syed's conviction. The state has 30 days to dismiss the case or set a new trial.
