Prosecution failed to turn over evidence about one of the two alternate suspects. This is known as a brady violation, and could overturn adan's conviction. The motion says they've also got other new information about these two suspects. One had a connection to the location where hamanly's car was found after she disappeared. But no one has charged either of these guys in connection with haman lee's murder.
Adnan Syed was accused of the 1999 killing of his classmate and ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee, whose body was found buried in a car park in Baltimore.
He was convicted and sentenced to life in prison but has proclaimed his innocence for the last 23 years.
Mr. Syed was the subject of the first season of the podcast “Serial,” which painstakingly examined his case and the evidence against him.
Yesterday, his conviction was overturned. On today’s episode, the “Serial” team looks at how this happened.
Guest: Sarah Koenig, the host and executive producer of the “Serial” podcast.
