True crime podcast Serial podcast has released a new episode after a judge overturned the murder conviction of Adnan Syed, the subject of the famed podcast series. Serial host Sarah Koenig was on the ground in Baltimore on Monday, where Judge Melissa M. Phinn of Baltimore City Circuit Court vacated the conviction. Prosecutors (State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby and Sentencing Review Unit chief Becky Feldman) had filed a motion for the judge to overturn it last Wednesday. Koenig reports from the scene, also explaining the legal history of the conviction, the state's motion, and Syed's journey. But I do know that the chances of the State ever trying to prosecute Adnan again are remote at best."
