There are far too many innocent people in prison, However, Adnan Syed was not one of them. Prosecutors build careers on false convictions, and now this prosecutor is building a career by letting a guilty man go free. She is using the popularity of the 100 million listeners to Sarah Koenig's shameful exploitation of the murder of Hae Min Lee, when Koenig kept listeners tuned in by keeping them wondering whether he was guilty. Syed showed Lee's body to Jay Wilds in the trunk. He lent his car to Jay in order to lure Lee with the lie that his was in the shop. He also lent his cell phone so he could call Jay after he killed Hae Lee. He hung out with Jay, Jennifer Pusateri and others acting like a real life zombie OR someone who just committed murder. He practically admitted it when the police called looking for Hae. Jay Wild also told Jennifer Pusateria that Adnan strangled Hae Min Lee, a fact not released by the authorities. Jennifer picked up Jay at Westview Mall after Adnan buried Lee and disposed of shovels there. Despite Jay's defensive, but understandable inconsistencies, why would he lie and implicate himself? This case is obvious, which is why Adnan was convicted.

[@Hannah_LeClaire]

He's already spent almost a lifetime in prison.. how sad to think he's already spent this long in prison if he truly is innocent and was wrongly convicted.. the therapy he would go through to help him cope with the mental anguish he must have gone through the last 20 plus years is absolutely crazy but also critical if he is released and proven innocent. My heart and prayers go out for justice for this woman and also for the truth.

"Justice over convictions" Should literally be the oath of Every Prosecutor

[@joeforns]

You must either be very ignorant of how a trial works or a moron . Every trial has a defense team it is their job to prove the person accused of the crimes is not guilty , its the prosecutors job to prove that they are guilty . Both of them present evidence that is all they do they do not convict and they do not declare innocence they present the case from both sides view and the jury decides guilt or innocence . So the justice over convictions statement is pathetically stupid and makes no sense at all having nothing to do with the job she actively sought out to have and her statement if anything is an admittance of her inability to do her job .

[@ratedhijabi7284]

He was a teenager 17 yrs old ! When he was arrested he is now 41 yrs old. How do you even explain whole life wasted without taking DNA from crime scene! So unfair and sad. I pray the real killer be found !

He’s 38 actually, he was 17 in 99 then put away in 2000 when 18

[@joeforns]

The life waisted was the young womans and her parents think he is guilty after seeing the evidence during the trial and what they are saying now amounts to oh my gosh there were 2000 other people there capable of murder so he got screwed which is bullshit . This is making the murderer the victim and for a prosecutor to say something as stupid as justice over convictions kind of makes it look like she isn't qualified for the job she holds because a prosecutors job is to present the case and nothing more the jury decides guilt or innocence . They present evidence of guilt and the defender presents evidence of innocence , they do not set free or condemn they merely present everything to the jury they decide . What this prosecutor did was make a statement of her inability to do the job she was elected to do and she should resign asap

[@kevinJmadsen]

Why would you expect DNA at the crime scene? Syed choked Hae Min Lee in the passenger seat of her car, breaking her Hyoid bone and bruising her head against the car door, killing her in about 15 seconds. Hae kicked the wiper switch loose on the steering column, but if she managed to get any of his DNA, it was lost after being buried in a shallow grave and inclement weather for 30 days. In fact it snowed the day after he buried her. There was no bleeding, no sexual assault.

If you listen to the podcast Undisclosed, it explains with real audio and transcripts of Jay's confessions, how the police coached him into being an eye witness for something he never actually witnessed. The fact that Jay admitted to seeing the body, knowing about the murder, and then burying a body but never coming forward in six weeks - all heinous and illegal behavior - and then never spending a minute in jail while still being this big time drug dealer, should tell you everything you need to know.

I agree with Sarah Koenig: "As a juror, I vote to acquit Adnan Syed,” she finally concluded. “I have to acquit. Even if, in my heart of hearts, I think Adnan killed Hae, I still have to acquit." The physical evidence and procedures were flawed enough to force the acquittal, but the circumstantial evidence is still beyond reasonable doubt. Adnan is not innocent - he is only free on technicalities of procedures and flawed evidence used by the prosecution. Justice has not been served to anyone - should be a retrial, but that'd be a waste of resources and Adnan has served a longer sentence than he would in many countries.

⛓⛓ ~ This is 5-6 years too late. I’ve listened to at least 50 hours of detailed information about all the holes and misconduct in this story. And 50 hours is a conservative minimum guess. That does not even count me listening to the original serial podcast. The Maryland court of appeals screwed this case up after the trial court judge wanted to overturn the convictions. And another extremely suspicious thing, that has been commented on before, is the prosecutor working on this case over the last several years actually left the prosecutor’s office and has been DONATING his time for FREE to continue to make sure this man spends the rest of his life in prison. Is that suspicious? The prosecutor left the office to go to a higher paying legal job, but he continue to work on this one single case to make sure he stayed in prison. He did sell for free. Does it sound like he was trying to hide misconduct that he knew about? He didn’t want any other prosecutor looking into this case? That is the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this story pop up one or two days ago.

I heard the podcast and saw the documentary. 100% guilty, but the evidence to legally prove it was shaky. He even slipped up at one point during the podcast and nervously giggled to cover it up - Keonig didn't seem to notice it, but I did. The circumstantial evidence was strong enough to make the chances of a random killer doing it 'beyond reasonable doubt'.

Gosh. 17 years old - he was just a baby. Probably learning how to drive, hanging out with friends, being carefree with no care in the world. He had his entire life ahead of him.

There should be an investigation on the conduct of the procecutors from that time, why would certain evidence not be shared?

[@tdmccoy1211]

Bless this womans heart. I hope she stands by these convictions (of the heart) and continues to put justice above all. Far too often and in MOST court rooms the DAs want only to win. And are too easily convinced by colleagues that they assume are of the same mind.

Whoever testified that Adnan showed them a dead body in his car should go to jail if this guy isn't guilty.

[@jlaborer3945]

You read these comments and think what world do we live in. He could be innocent and he could be guilty. The bottom line is that getting a fair trial is the key. They might retry him and they might find a diffrent killer. If he is guilty and didn't get a fair trial, he should be released and retried. If he is guilty and there is not enough evidence, then he should be let go. People think he is being released because he is innocent. That is far from the truth. Marilyn Mosby is doing what prosecutors should of been doing a Long time ago.

For me just the fact that the cellphone provider fax cover letter clearly stated that the data they provided for the case could not be used to pinpoint location is enough ground for a retrial. This info was left out of trail and not provided to the defense.

This is the best podcast of all time ...this is the O.G ...THE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL!... WITHOUT THIS PODCAST WE WOULD BE MAKING FUN OF PODCAST PPL. it is even better than the HBO doc series that came out after the podcast but the HBO doc series reveals a lot of INFORMATION. Oh and just FYI try to stay away from girls that Listen to true Crime podcasts... I've dated a few of them in the last 10 years they're all the same crap weird AF with complex daddy issues, family issues that can ruin a guys life. Just like live concerts girls/women ruin everything.

I was in agreement with you about it being a great podcast but you lost me in the second half of your comment 🤯🙄

[@dearjohn795]

@@jennifergraceh lol my bad...it's how I feel though. It's more of a thing and you'll hear it more often that women are obsessed and love True Crime podcasts, documentaries or series. And you guys have the ability to dive in and get more involved and be obsessed unlike men we can't do that we got too much to do and too much to focus on although I love the True Crime world as I always did before podcasts and documentaries... you guys have the ability to take over things in a massive way that guys can't. Before I could talk to my guy friends about the True Crime stuff without them mocking me that it's a girly thing ...but now that's over. Like a true crime podcast will be more popular with a woman narrating it than a guy. It's almost as if since you guys are always the victims and these True Crimes now you guys got to take over. And as for concerts that's 100% true go to a concert you will not hear any guys the women will drown out the men's voices or sing alongs or screaming and then you guys do that weird hand wave thing when it's a slow song that actually piss off the artist

It was the time when many innocnet Pakistanis were caught for no reason..Pakistanis were considered as terrorists especially after 9/11... One small Mistake by Pakistani was enough to jail him and declare him culprit.. Adnan was one of them.. Still there are many Pakistanis in American's jails... Most important example is Gwantamoo Bay.. We Pakistanis will be thankful of Media if they talk about Afia Siddiqui that was caught in Afghanistan and prisoned for 80 years...
