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 L.V. Anderson to talk about Cristina Gutierrez, the defense attorney at Adnan Syed’s trial; the role anti-Muslim bias may have played in Syed’s conviction; and the recent debates about Serial and white privilege.
