That whole talked to him at the library thing seemed sketchy as hell. Her statements and actions years later were even more sketchy.

Here are some facts that serial left out. From the point of view of the prosecution:

Adnan Syed NEVER told police detectives he was at the public library after school the day.

Adnan Syed claims that he was asked to remember, weeks later, what he was doing the day Hae Min Lee disappeared, despite the fact that a police detective called him the same day she went missing.

There are memos summarizing the defense team's other meetings with Mr. Syed, none of which say that Mr. Syed said went to the library after school that day.

In his Serial interview with Sarah Koenig, we heard Adnan tell Sarah Koenig that he did NOT ask Hae Min Lee for a ride that day. This contradicts the testimony of two witnesses that heard him ask Lee for a ride.

In his Serial interview, he told Sarah Koenig that he NEVER would have asked for a ride from Hae Min Lee because she had to go pick up her cousin. But his own defense file mentions that him and Hae used to have sex right after school. So Mr. Syed lied in his Serial interview.

Asia McClain's language in her letter dated March 1 indicates she is offering to provide a false alibi. She provides an enormous window of 2:15 to 8 p.m. "I will try my best to help you account for some of your unwitnessed, unaccountable lost time (2:15 - 8:00; Jan 13th)."

Asia McClain testified in Mr. Syed's 2nd post conviction relief hearing that she learned of the 2:15 to 8 p.m. time frame from Syed's own family.

You saw evidence that Mr. Syed wrote a letter to his friend to give to Asia McClain to type up.

Asia McClain claimed that the day Hae Min Lee was murdered and the day she saw Adnan in the library was the first snow storm of the year. The first snow storm of the year was the week before.
