Åklagaren lägger ner utredningen mot Adnan Syed
Åklagaren lägger ner mordutredningen mot Adnan Sayed, rapporterar NBC News. Syed dömdes 2000 till livstids fängelse för mordet på Hae Min Lee i Baltimore. Fallet fick stor uppmärksamhet genom podcasten ”Serial” 2014, där en rad oklarheter uppdagades.
Den 19 september släpptes Syed ur fängelset, i väntan på att åklagarsidan skulle fatta beslut om ifall utredningen skulle läggas ner eller om de ville ha en ny rättegång.

Hae Min Lee (Korean: 이해민; born October 15, 1980) was a Korean-American high school student who was last seen alive on January 13, 1999, in Baltimore County, Maryland. Her body was found four weeks later in Leakin Park; she had been killed by manual strangulation. Lee's ex-boyfriend, Adnan Masud Syed (born May 21, 1981), was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison plus 30 years.In 2014, the podcast Serial covered the murder of Hae Min Lee, which brought renewed attention to the case. In 2016, Judge Martin P. Welch vacated Syed's conviction and ordered a new trial. That decision was upheld by the Maryland Court of Special Appeals in 2018, but overturned by the Maryland Court of Appeals in 2019. Following an investigation by prosecutors that uncovered new evidence, a judge vacated Syed's convition in September 2022.
