Nej till ny prövning för Adnan Syed från Serial
Adnan Syed, central person i den uppmärksammade podcasten ”Serial”, kommer inte få en ny rättslig prövning. Det har USA:s högsta domstol beslutat, skriver Reuters. Syed avtjänar sedan år 2 000 ett livstidsstraff för mordet på sin ex-flickvän Hae Min Lee i Baltimore.
Försvaret har hävdat svagheter i bevisningen. En tidigare försvarsadvokat ska också missat att förhöra ett vittne som kunde ha gett Adnan Syed ett alibi.

Season three, which debuted in September 2018, explores cases within the Justice Center Complex in the Cleveland area. Serial ranked number one on iTunes even before its debut and remained there for several weeks. Serial won a Peabody Award in April 2015 for its innovative telling of a long-form nonfiction story.
