Undisclosed Podcast Research Project: Can Anyone Find a Copy of this Order From the Zach Witman Case?
I'm looking for some assistance in getting a copy of the following order from the Zachary Witman case:
Here is a link to the full docket sheet for the case. If I'm correct, this order could be highly important to the Adnan Syed appeal. If someone is able to track down a copy, could you please send it to me at [email protected]?
[Update: A helpful reader sent me a document containing this:
So, the court quashed (disposed with the defendant's cross-appeal disfavorably before decision) sua sponte (on its own, without a motion by the State). Now, if (1) I can find the order quashing the cross-appeal; and (2) it was quashed for the reason I think it was quashed, I might really have something.].

Carley: Thanks. Unfortunately, that's a later opinion in the case.

Ned: Thanks. That's the court's opinion granting the State's appeal from a suppression order. I'm looking for the court's order quashing the defendant's cross-appeal from that same suppression order.

Oh. Sorry Colin. I knew there was a reason I went into the medical field, and not law...
