Serial, the popular podcast that investigated whether Adnan Sayed was wrongfully convicted of murder, has raised a host of controversial questions about Sayed's conviction. Did he do it? Were witnesses coerced? Did the State hide evidence? These questions are important not just for Sayed's case but also the criminal justice system. Join a varied team of practitioners with experience in prosecution, criminal defense, and  post-conviction innocence work as we discuss Serial'ls unanswered, and unasked, questions.
