The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

While this is certainly a win, Syed's case calls attention to the troubling issues in the criminal justice system. Syed has been behind bars for more than 20 years due to a weak investigation that violated its legal obligation to ensure a fair trial — a discovery that was disclosed years ago.

Pro-establishment narrative

While nobody wants to see an innocent man in jail, we shouldn't jump to conclusions. The state is doing its due diligence by reopening the investigation, which should be left to experts and not sensationalized for entertainment.
