BALTIMORE — was overturned last month.
State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby said last month that her decision on Syed’s case hinged on pending DNA testing being conducted on evidence of Lee’s killing. The analysis to date has yielded useless results, but it’s unclear if Mosby’s office has received more recent feedback from the forensics lab in California doing the tests.
