JUST IN: A judge has approved a motion to vacate the murder conviction of Adnan Syed, the subject of the first season of the popular 'Serial' podcast, who has maintained he is innocent in the 1999 slaying of his ex-girlfriend
A judge on Monday approved a motion by prosecutors to vacate the murder conviction of Adnan Syed, the subject of the first season of the popular “Serial” podcast, who has maintained he is innocent in the 1999 slaying of his ex-girlfriend. Baltimore prosecutors filed the motion last week asking for a new trial for Syed, who has been serving a life sentence after he was convicted of first-degree murder, robbery, kidnapping and false imprisonment in connection to the killing of Hae Min Lee.
Maryland public defender Natasha Dartigue in a news release called the case “a true example of how justice delayed is justice denied. An innocent man spends decades wrongly incarcerated, while any information or evidence that could help identify the actual perpetrator becomes increasingly difficult to pursue.” What we know about the case Adnan and Lee were seniors at Woodlawn High School in Baltimore County in January 1999 when she disappeared.
