Rabia Chaudry, a woman whose mission to save a friend from a life sentence which she believes he doesn’t deserve, is writing a book.
Adnan Syed was convicted and sentenced to life plus thirty years for the murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee, a high school senior in Baltimore, Maryland back in 2000. Chaudry, always believed that he is innocent and has been fighting for more than a decade to get him released.
In 2013, when all of the appeals had been exhausted, she contacted This American Life producer Sarah Koenig in order to publicize the case. Koenig’s research into the story turned into a Peabody Award-winning podcast called Serial.
Murder, Justice, and the Case that Captivated a Nation: Adnan’s Story from St. Martin’s Press is due out in September 2016, but is already available for presale on Amazon.
