Questionable Conviction
There were several major issues with Syed’s conviction. The first was that no one in the police department had bothered to look into McClain as an alibi witness for Syed. Meanwhile, Clinedinst’s alibi turned out to be problematic, having been provided by his own mother. Wilds’ story had changed a number of times, suggesting he’d been coached by the police. And the cell tower evidence was unreliable at best.
