Serial S01 - Ep. 7: The Opposite of the Prosecution

The podcast explores the complexities of Adnan Syed's case, focusing on potential wrongful conviction. Sarah Koenig interviews Deirdre Enright, Director of the Innocence Project Clinic at the University of Virginia School of Law, who brings a fresh perspective by re-evaluating the evidence. Enright's team reviews the case files, giving Adnan the presumption of innocence and questioning the thoroughness of the initial investigation, particularly the lack of DNA testing on key pieces of evidence like a liquor bottle and swabs from the victim's body. The discussion highlights concerns about Jay's changing statements and inconsistencies in cell tower data. Ultimately, Enright's team decides to further investigate the case, driven by a belief that something went wrong in the initial investigation.
