Description
"The first letter I received after being arrested in 1999 was from Rabia. Since that time until now, she has believed in my innocence and been committed to my exoneration...[T]here is no one better to help tell my story, and no one that I trust more to tell it, than Rabia." (Adnan Syed). Sixteen years ago, Adnan Syed was sentenced to life plus thirty years for the murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee, a high school senior in Baltimore. From the moment of his arrest, Syed has consistently maintained his innocence. By 2013, however, after almost all appeals had been exhausted, things looked bleak. That's when Rabia Chaudry, a family friend, contacted Sarah Koenig. Koenig's investigation turned into the international phenomenon Serial. Adnan's Story will re-examine the investigation that led to Adnan Syed's arrest, share his life in prison, cover new evidence and review the recent court successes - including a ruling by a Maryland judge to reopen the case. Woven with personal reflections from Adnan himself, including never-before-seen letters he penned from prison, the book offers new insight into the story that captivated the imagination of millions.
