Maryland: Judge Orders Retrial for Adnan Syed

HeadlineJul 01, 2016

In Maryland, a judge has granted a new trial to Adnan Syed, the subject of the first season of the award-winning podcast “Serial.” In 2000, Syed was convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee. He has long maintained his innocence. His lawyer celebrated the judge’s decision, while Hae Min’s family said, “It remains hard to see so many run to defend someone who committed a horrible crime, who destroyed our family, who refuses to accept responsibility, when so few are willing to speak up for Hae.”
