"Serial" Killer Gets His Day In Court
Adnan Syed, the infamous focus of the podcast "Serial", returns to court on Thursday June 8, in Maryland, USA. The court is hearing an appeal to grant Syed a new trial, following the overturning of his previous conviction last year. The basis for the decision was the lack of proper defense during his original trial.
Syed was convicted in the murder of his ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, in 2000 and was sentenced to life in prison. Thanks to the popular This American Life podcast, his conviction has received widespread international media attention.
