Prosecutors in the United States city of Baltimore have dropped a murder case against Adnan Syed, who became the subject of the popular podcast series ‘Serial’ that cast doubt on his guilt in the 1999 killing of 18-year-old Hae Min Lee.Emily Witty, a spokeswoman for the city of Baltimore’s state’s attorney’s office, said that the office had dropped its case against Syed in an email on Tuesday. A judge had overturned Syed’s conviction last month, releasing him from prison and giving prosecutors one month to decide whether to renew the case.“Breaking news: After the latest round of DNA testing generated results that, like previous rounds of testing, excluded Adnan Syed, he has now been formally exonerated!” tweeted Laura Nirider, a co-director of the Center on Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, who accompanied Syed out of prison last month.
