Adnan Syed Part 1: Cell Phone Evidence and the Conviction That Started It All
When a teenage girl goes missing in Baltimore, police follow the oldest rule in the book: look at the ex-boyfriend. What they found was Jay Wilds, a friend willing to testify that Adnan Syed confessed to murder in exchange for a plea deal, and cell phone data from 1999 that was about as reliable as a Magic 8-Ball. For 15 years, case closed. Then Sarah Koenig happened. Today we're diving into how one podcast host armed with curiosity and a microphone managed to do what years of appeals couldn't: make the world question whether justice had actually been served. This is the story of how Serial became more powerful than DNA evidence and changed true crime forever.
