Serial is investigating the 1999 murder of a Baltimore area high school student, and here at Slate we are following the story closely, discussing each new episode as it appears. This week, David Haglund and Katy Waldman are joined by Willa Paskin, Slate’s TV critic, to talk about the new testimony this episode introduced; the prison life of Adnan Syed, who was convicted of the crime; and Serial’s attention in this episode to the victim, Hae Min Lee, and her family.
