Official Court Transcripts of Adnan Syed’s First and Second Trials in 1999 and 2000 #
If you want to look up something that was said during one of the trials, such as Hae Min Lee’s mother’s heartbreaking comments at the sentencing hearing, or what Debbie W said (or couldn’t remember) at trial, or even whether the prosecution’s closing arguments did or did not depend on a certain timeline, then you’ve come to the right place. This page has all the trial transcripts from both Adnan’s first, prematurely ended trial in 1999, or the second trial in early 2000 (this verdict was overturned in 2016).
There are files with all the events from each day, but those files are often very large and may take time to open or download. We have done best to reduce the size for you, but there are limits because the original quality was fairly poor. If you are searching for something said by (or to) a specific witness said, you could try the smaller files we made for each witness.
