BALTIMORE — Baltimore prosecutors moved Wednesday to vacate the conviction in the murder case of Adnan Syed, whose legal saga rocketed to international prominence by way of the hit podcast “Serial.”
The development means Syed, now 42, could get a new trial or go free after serving more than 20 years in prison for the 1999 killing of his ex-girlfriend, which he always maintained he never committed.
Hae Min Lee was strangled to death and buried in a clandestine grave in Baltimore’s Leakin Park.
