Sarah Koenig：本周的听证会并非重审，而是对 Adnan Syed 提交的关于其定罪的后续申诉的继续审理。这属于在用尽常规上诉途径后的最后努力。Syed 认为其原辩护律师 Gutierrez 无能，犯下严重错误，导致其被错误定罪。新的证据和证人证词将被呈现在听证会上，这些证据和证词与 Asia McCane 和关键的手机信号塔证据有关。听证会将于 2016 年 2 月 2 日开始，将持续几天，她将每天报道听证会的情况。
Dana Chivvis：听证会的第一部分主要集中在证明 Adnan Syed 的原辩护律师 Christina Gutierrez 在案件处理中存在失职行为，特别是为什么 Gutierrez 没有联系 Asia McCane 作为 Adnan Syed 的不在场证明证人。Asia McCane 的证词在法庭上非常引人注目，她清晰地回忆了案发当天与 Adnan Syed 见面的情况，并表达了她为正义作证的愿望。检方试图通过对 Asia McCane 信件中某些语句的解读，来质疑她的证词的可信度，并计划通过质疑 Asia McCane 的记忆准确性来削弱她的证词，从看似无关紧要的问题入手，尝试挑战她的记忆。
Asia McCane: Asia McCane 提供了关于案发当天她与 Adnan Syed 在图书馆见面的不在场证明。她清晰地回忆了当天的细节，并坚称自己说的是实话，是为了正义作证。
Christina Gutierrez: 虽然没有直接出现在听证会中，但关于其在 Adnan Syed 案中表现不佳的证词，以及其未能联系关键证人 Asia McCane 的事实，构成了听证会的重要组成部分。
