Prosecutors dropped charges against Adnan Syed on Tuesday in the 1999 killing of Hae Min Lee — a case that was chronicled in the hit podcast “Serial” — after additional DNA testing further undermined his conviction, his lawyer said.
Emily Witty, a spokeswoman for the city of Baltimore’s state’s attorney’s office, said in an email that her office had dropped its case against Syed and would release further details about its decision later Tuesday.
The state’s attorney’s office announced it would not prosecute the case further based on DNA testing results that excluded Syed, the Maryland Office of the Public Defender said in a statement.
The Circuit Court dropped the charges Tuesday, resulting in the dismissal of the criminal case, according to the public defender’s office. READ MORE: Kim Kardashian’s Podcast ‘The System’ Hits No.
