Syed’s first trial, in December 1999, ended in mistrial. At his second trial, in February 2000, he was convicted of murder andin prison. Now 41, he has spent more than 20 years behind bars. He has always maintained his innocence. Chaudry also said “every piece of forensic evidence collected pointed to Adnan’s innocence. From the hairs found on Lee’s body, which did not match Adnan, to the dozens of soil samples taken from his clothing, shoes, car, and room, which returned negative results for matching soil from Leakin Park”.
Last week, prosecutors filed a motion saying a lengthy investigation conducted with the defense uncovered new evidence that could undermine Syed’s conviction.
