A Baltimore judge ordered that Syed’s conviction be vacated and approved the release of the now-41-year-old who has spent more than two decades behind bars accused of the murder of Hae Min Lee
A Baltimore judge on Monday ordered the release of Adnan Syed after overturning Syed’s conviction for the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee – a case that was chronicled in the hit podcast “Serial.”
Last week, prosecutors filed a motion saying that a lengthy investigation conducted with the defence had uncovered new evidence that could undermine the 2000 conviction of Syed, Lee’s ex-boyfriend. The investigation “revealed undisclosed and newly-developed information regarding two alternative suspects, as well as unreliable cellphone tower data,” State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby’s office said in a news release last week. The suspects were known persons at the time of the original investigation, but weren’t properly ruled out nor disclosed to the defence, said prosecutors, who declined to release information about the suspects, due to the ongoing investigation.
