Clear & Convincing - Episode 20 - State of Maryland v. Adnan Syed

On the afternoon of January 13, 1999, Hae Min Lee disappeared after leaving Woodlawn High School, where she was a popular athlete and scholar.   Police looking for her questioned several people, including her current boyfriend, Don C., and ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed.  Hae’s body was found partially buried in a shallow grave in Leakin Park, in Baltimore City, Maryland.  Three days later, on February 12, an anonymous tip led police to put Adnan Syed at the top of their suspect list.  On February 27, 1999, Jay Wilds, an acquaintance of Syed, was interviewed by police and, early on the morning of February 28, 1999, led police to Hae’s missing vehicle.  Syed was arrested and charged with first degree murder.   The case has been the topic of multiple podcasts, including Serial in 2014 and Undisclosed in 2015, which raised questions about the investigation and Syed’s conviction and have alleged that Syed is actually innocent.   Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on Tuesday, September 4, 2018, at 8:00 p.m. Central for a discussion of the facts surrounding Hae’s disappearance, the investigation, the evidence against Syed, the issues raised by Syed during his post-conviction challenges and the appeal by the State of Maryland challenging the 2016 decision to grant Syed’s request for a new trial.  We’re a live show and calls are welcome.  Our phone number is (347) 989-1171.
