Welcome to the wolf's and I'm going, and I'm going to be talking to you about how serial podcasts will possibly free the killer, convicted killer, Adnan Said.

0:35.9

So when we talk about the Adnan Saeed case, he was convicted of murdering Heyman Lee in the 2000,

0:47.3

we like to talk about little pieces of evidence here and there, especially we like to talk about the timeline,

0:56.2

because it's so important in this case. And we also like to talk, podcasters like to talk about

2:54.2

So it's part of the genre to create doubt, to have us wonder if this convicted killer is perhaps innocent. And they do that at the expense of the victim,
