Spokesperson for Baltimore’s state attorney’s office said that her office had dropped its case against Adnan Syed and would release further details about its decision later
Prosecutors dropped charges against Adnan Syed on Tuesday in the 1999 killing of Hae Min Lee, a case that was chronicled in the first season of the hit podcast “Serial.”
A Baltimore judge last month overturned Syed’s murder conviction and ordered him released from prison, where the 41-year-old had spent more than two decades. Circuit Judge Melissa Phinn also gave prosecutors 30 days in which to decide whether to retry Syed or drop the charges. Last week, state Attorney General Brian Frosh’s office filed court papers supporting the appeal by Lee’s family.
One of the suspects had threatened Lee, saying “he would make her disappear. He would kill her,” according to a court filing.
