Adnan Syed
Legal wrangling and surprising developments have renewed the spotlight on the cases of Peterson, Bryan Kohberger, Adnan Syed, Alex Murdaugh and Richard Allen.
A court ruled that lack of notice about the hearing that made Syed a free man violated the rights of Hae Min Lee’s family. Now the Lees want a redo — with a seat at the table.
Syed’s legal case began more than two decades ago, and gained international attention from the hit podcast “Serial.” He regained his freedom in September.
Syed will not be taken back into custody.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
The subject of the true-crime podcast "Serial" was released from a Maryland prison this year after a judge overturned his conviction.
A judge has given Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby's office 30 days to decide whether to pursue new charges or drop the case against Syed.
Noah weighed in on Adnan Syed, who was freed after serving more than 20 years for a murder covered in the podcast "Serial."
Syed has served more than 20 years in prison for the 1999 death of his girlfriend. The murder case was examined in the popular podcast “Serial.”
They did not assert Syed's innocence, but said "the state no longer has confidence in the integrity of the conviction."
Adnan Syed is serving a life sentence after he was convicted in 2000 of killing 17-year-old Hae Min Lee and burying her body in a Baltimore park.
