The Case Against Adnan Syed

A fresh look at the 1999 murder of Baltimore student Hae Min Lee, and the subsequent conviction of her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed.

As Syed's appeal for a new trial gets underway, experts look back at the crucial police statement of his friend, Jay Wilds, who claimed he helped Syed bury Lee's body and whose testimony is called into question years later.

With Syed's 2016 post-conviction hearing for appeal drawing to a close, figures in the case reflect on issues raised by the original trial. Attorney Susan Simpson and others probe lingering questions around the state's case against Syed.

Despite being granted a new trial, Adnan Syed and his attorneys contend with the State's repeated appeals. Private investigators grapple with outstanding questions as they re-analyse the forensic evidence surrounding Hae Min Lee's death.

Adnan's lawyer Erica J Suter unearths new information in a year-long investigation, exposing flaws in the original case and prosecution, including undisclosed evidence pointing to other potential suspects and untested DNA from the crime scene.
