Adnan Syed is a free man! The 41-year-old, who was the subject of the 2014 podcast Serial and the 2019 HBO documentary The Case Against Adnan Syed, had his murder conviction overturned and he has been released from prison after 23 years. Adnan was convicted for the 1999 murder of his ex-girlfriend, but he maintained his innocence over the years and the Serial podcast raised speculation about his guilt.

In the next 30 days, Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby’s Office must decide if they will drop the charges against him or try him again for the murder.
