The podcast investigates the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee and the conviction of her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed. It explores the complexities and inconsistencies in the case, focusing on Adnan's alibi and the testimony of Jay, a key witness. The host examines the state's argument that Adnan, a seemingly well-regarded young man, was driven to murder due to the shame of a broken secret relationship. A potential alibi witness, Asia, claimed to have seen Adnan at the library around the time of the murder, but her statements were never thoroughly investigated by Adnan's defense attorney. Despite Asia's later confirmation, her testimony was deemed legally worthless, and the judge denied Adnan's petition. The host grapples with the question of Adnan's guilt or innocence.
