A judge on Monday vacated the murder conviction of Adnan Syed, years after the hit podcast Serial chronicled his case and cast doubt on his role in the slaying of former girlfriend Hae Min Lee.
City Circuit Court Judge Melissa Phinn said prosecutors made a compelling argument that Syed’s convicted was flawed.
She vacated murder, kidnapping, robbery and false imprisonment against Syed. The judge ordered him released without bail.
