A judge has ordered the release of Adnan Syed, the subject of ‘Serial’ and ‘The Case Against Adnan Syed’:
In the state’s motion to overturn his conviction, prosecutors wrote not that they believed Syed was innocent, but that they no longer had faith in the integrity of his conviction. ‘It is in the interests of justice and fairness that these convictions be vacated and that the defendant, at a minimum, be afforded a new trial,’ wrote Becky Feldman, chief of the State’s Attorney’s Office’s Sentencing Review Unit.
Prosecutors did not reveal the identities of the alternative suspects but “described one of the suspects as a serial rapist, saying the suspect was convicted in a series of sexual assaults after Syed’s trial.” They also noted that “police discovered Lee’s car near the residence of one of the suspects.”’s initial release failed to help Syed gain an appeal, despite multiple attempts. But now, at least for the moment, he’s been released.
