On January 13th, 1999, 18-year-old high school senior, Hae Min Lee was reported missing by her family. She’d been leaving school that day, but had never arrived to pick up her younger cousin from school. In the time span of less than 30 minutes it seemed, the young woman had vanished. Less than a month later, Hae’s body was found in a park, partially buried. She had been strangled to death. The investigation that ensued resulted in Hae’s ex-boyfriend, 17-year-old Adnan Syed, being convicted of her murder and sentenced to life in prison. However, after a judge recently ruled that the prosecution had failed to turn over evidence that could’ve altered the jury’s verdict, Adnan’s sentence was vacated. Shortly after, the state dropped the charges against him. Was Adnan Syed wrongly convicted? Was his counsel ineffective or was he truly proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt?

TRIGGER WARNINGS: sexual assault, murder, suggestions of abuse within a relationship, drugs, strangulation
