REVISITING THE WRONGFUL CONVICTION OF ADNAN SYED
This week, we’re re-visting one of the most notorious wrongful-conviction cases in modern true crime: the story of Adnan Syed. In this episode, we unravel the whirlwind of developments since his conviction was vacated in 2022 — from the evidence (or lack thereof) that set him free after 23 years behind bars, to the legal rollercoaster that followed.
After HBO dropped a brand-new fifth chapter of The Case Against Adnan Syed docuseries, the case has exploded back into the spotlight. We break down the biggest revelations from the documentary and the new forensic questions being raised.
As the investigation pivots toward two alternate suspects — men long known to law enforcement but never disclosed to the defense — we explore what their alleged histories, threats, and connections could mean for finally uncovering the truth behind Hae Min Lee’s 1999 murder.
