Yesterday, The Intercept posted its interview with Serial prosecutor Kevin Urick. He alleged that Sarah Koenig and the Serial team made only one attempt to contact him, and criticized the podcast’s bias toward Adnan Syed, whom he maintains is guilty.
Today on Twitter, Serial fired back.

This is the second individual involved with the case to go public with anti-Serial sentiments. We bet it’s not the last.
