AcquittedBaltimore, MD · 1999

Adnan Syed / Hae Min Lee

Adnan Syed was convicted in 2000 of the 1999 murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee in Baltimore, Maryland. The case gained global attention through the 2014 Serial podcast and a 2019 HBO documentary. In September 2022, a judge vacated his conviction citing Brady violations and unreliable cell tower evidence. Charges were dropped in October 2022 after DNA testing excluded Syed. However, the Maryland Appellate Court reinstated his conviction in March 2023 over victim family notification rights, a decision upheld by the Maryland Supreme Court in August 2024. In March 2025, a judge resentenced Syed to time served plus probation under the Juvenile Restoration Act, allowing him to remain free despite his conviction standing.
