Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I tukuna e te kaiwhawhai i whakawakia i runga i te podcast rongonui 'Serial' he korero poto i te Mane ki te Kooti Whakapono Motuhake o Maryland e kii ana i te keehi mo te take me whakakorehia tana whakapae. I whakawakia a Adnan Syed, 34, mo te patu i tana hoa aroha o te kura tuarua a Hae Min Lee i te tau 1999 a kei te mahi ia i te herehere mo te ora mai i te tau 2000. E 17 ōna tau i te wā i mate ai a Lee. E tohe ana te roia a Syed kia whakawhiwhia tana kiritaki ki tetahi whakawakanga hou na te mea ko tana roia o mua, ko Christina Gutierrez, i mahi i nga hapa i 'hohonu ake i te hapa me te korenga.' Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Ko Adnan Syed, te kaupapa o Serial, i whakawakia mo te patu i tana hoa aroha o te kura tuarua a Hae Min Lee i te tau 1999. Ko Syed, e 17 ona tau i te wa i mate ai a Lee (matau), kua noho ia i te herehere mo te ora mai i te tau 2000 a inaianei 34.

Ko te take o te tono a Syed, kāore a Gutierrez i uiui i a Asia McClain, he ākonga i te kura a Syed, e kī ana i a ia i te whare pukapuka i te wā tata o te matenga o Lee.

I whakawakia a Adnan Syed mo te kohuru i tana hoa wahine o te kura tuarua a Hae Min Lee i te tau 1999. Kua noho ia ki te whare herehere e mahi ana i te herehere mo te ora mai i te tau 2000, engari e kii ana kaore ia i hara.

I aro atu te take a Syed i muri i te whakaaturanga o te pouaka WBEZ Chicago.
