The criminal justice system is built around protecting the innocent at all costs. But many times, the circumstantial evidence is enough for compelling arguments in court to tip the balance against the defendant. We do not know if Syed is innocent or not. But it is after 20 years of dogged pursuit that he has once again got a chance to plead not guilty. The Case Against Adnan Syed documentary series on HBO re-investigates the case.

The Case Against Adnan Syed – What Happened?
The new docu series takes back to the 90s Baltimore, leading up to disappearance of Hae Min Lee. When Hae disappeared, Adna, her ex-boyfriend, their high school romance, forbidden love and cultural conflict became the prime focus of the police investigation.
The Case Against Adnan Syed documentary brings a fresh eye to the case and offers interviews with key players, many of whom were not featured in the original podcast.
The series presents new information that questions the state’s case, and draws on exclusive access to essential characters, including new audio recordings of Syed from prison, the defense team, the Syed family, friends and teachers of Hae Min Lee, private investigators and members of Baltimore City law enforcement, examining how Syed’s trial and subsequent conviction in 2000 raised as many questions as they answered.
