Judge re-opens 1999 murder case from popular SERIAL podcast

SERIAL Podcast (12 Episodes/Audio) 2014. Journalist Sarah Koenig uncovers both sides of the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee who was the ex-girlfriend of Adnan Syed. He was convicted & sentenced to life in prison. Adnan is now 35 years old & still claims his innocence. 5-plus million listeners tuned into SERIAL & fans are still dissecting the case that has so many twists, turns & interesting characters. Even celebrities & real life lawyers spoke up about the murder.

Adnan has a witness who claims she saw him in the school library when Hae Min Lee was killed. That witness came forward but was never called by Adnan's lawyer at trial. The SERIAL podcast was so popular that Adnan was granted a new trial. A judge has now re-opened Lee's murder case.

Personally, I don't think Adnan had a fair trial with not enough evidence to convict him. I think he knew what happened to Hae Min Lee though. He was an accessory to murder because his so-called friend Jay had killed her.
