Adnan Syed, who was jailed for the murder of his ex-girlfriend, could be released and a new trial fixed after a request from prosecutors, Forbes reports.
Syed, the subject of the viral Serial true crime podcast in the US, has been in prison since 2000 when he was sentenced to life plus 30 years for the murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee.
He has also protested his innocence and could soon be a free man if prosecutors in Baltimore are successful in a court request to have that 22-year-old conviction vacated.
