Ethan Shanfeld Adnan Syed has been released from prison after serving 23 years behind bars for the murder of Hae Min Lee, after a Baltimore judge overturned the case. As his story continues, so does true crime podcast “Serial,” which popularized the case and made Syed a household name in its record-setting first season, which investigated the murder.

This wasn’t an honest conviction,'” as Koenig reports. Koenig also says that the prosecutor’s office did not set out to take down Syed’s case, and that “it just kind of crumbled once they took a hard look.” Juvenile Restoration Act About a year ago, Maryland enacted the Juvenile Restoration Act.

On Oct. 2, 2021, one day after the law went into effect, Syed’s attorney, Erica Suter, delivered his case to the Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s Office. A new prosecutor takes
