In this episode, legal experts discuss the potential Brady violation and ineffective assistance of counsel in Adnan Syed's case that could result in a new trial. They also analyze the prosecution's reliance on cell phone tower location evidence and the possible impact of inaccuracies in such evidence.
In this podcast, the cell phone evidence used against Adnan Syed to convict him of murder is put under investigation, revealing flaws in the case and leading to its reopening. The evidence of cell phone pings is shown to not support the testimony of Jay Wilds, the key witness in the case.
Wrongly constructed map that was used as evidence during Adnan Syed's trial provided false data about the cellphone tower's location. This error may have clinched Adnan Syed's murder conviction in Hae Min Lee's murder case.
A Brady violation is when the prosecution withholds evidence that can potentially change the outcome of the case. This can qualify a defendant for a new trial.
