The New York Times, September 20, 2022: Why Adnan Syed was Released from Prison

“Yesterday, Adnan Syed was released from prison. You knew his story. It was the subject of the first season of the podcast ‘Serial,’ which painstakingly examined his case and the evidence used against him. Syed was accused of killing his classmate and ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, whose body was found buried in a park in Baltimore. He was convicted and sentenced to life but has proclaimed his innocence for the last 23 years.

“It was a stunning development. And my colleague, ‘Serial’ host Sarah Koenig, was in court watching it unfold, and tells the story of why it happened. It’s Tuesday, September 20.”
