Adnan Syed, the subject of the hit 2014 podcast Serial, was released from prison last September after 23 years, but now his murder conviction has been reinstated.
Adnan was convicted for the 1999 murder of his ex-girlfriend, but he maintained his innocence over the years and the Serial podcast raised speculation about his guilt. The conviction was overturned by Baltimore Circuit Judge Melissa Phinn after prosecutors raised doubts about the ruling after it was revealed there were alternative suspects.
