With nearly 300 million downloads, Undisclosed is the biggest wrongful conviction podcast in the world, and the Undisclosed has helped exonerate half a dozen defendants and find new evidence to get over a dozen defendants back in court.Adnan Syed’s story was popularized by the world-famous podcast Serial. Rabia was the one who brought this story to the producer of Serial, in the hopes that journalists could bring new evidence to the case to prove Adnan’s innocence. They did bring about new evidence, however, the show left out a lot of key details to the story.Adnan is still in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, and Rabia has dedicated her life to proving his innocence.  In this episode, learn how Rabia got involved in this case and why she is so passionate to fight for Adnan. She shares with us what vital details were left out of Serial’s presentation, as well as what common threads she has seen in countless wrongful conviction cases.We hope this episode starts a conversation around the downfalls of the criminal justice system and inspires action to be taken. For full show notes and resources visit: https://www.baktashahadi.com/podcast Support Rabia Chaudryhttp://www.rabiachaudry.com/Her book, Adnan's Story: https://amzn.to/3gesamZ*This is an Amazon Affiliate link.
