the state Adnan Syed was a premeditated and cold blood killer, though if this is true, why he didn’t have an alibi, why he didn’t remember anything about that day. Why he trusted an acquaintance drug supplier about Hae’s murder. A cold blooded killer would methodically calculate his steps, and would be careful to not leave any evidence behind, even less likely to leave a witness of his crime. Furthermore, “while Syed has managed to keep his nose clean over the last 17 years, Wilds' credibility…
