BALTIMORE — The Baltimore murder case with international interest came to a sudden end in a Baltimore courtroom after winding its way through the legal system for more than two decades.
Millions of people learned about Adnan Syed after listening to the “Serial” podcast, and hundreds gathered outside the courthouse last month when his conviction was overturned and he was released after 23 years behind bars.
With little fanfare, city prosecutors on Tuesday dismissed Syed’s charges stemming from the 1999 killing of Hae Min Lee. The hearing lasted about a minute.
