Finally, Adnan Syed is able to live as a free man after all charges against him are dropped

Adnan Syed is innocent and lost 23 years of his life serving time for a crime he did not commit.

The case garnered worldwide attention after the hit true crime podcast, Serial, featured it.

Syed was convicted of the murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee, but his conviction was quashed last month.

On Tuesday, it was announced that all charges had been dropped by U.S. prosecutors.

His layer says in a statement that he client “has always maintained his innocence” and they are “thrilled that justice has finally been served.”

Baltimore State Attorney has apologised to the families of victim and the now-exonerated Syed.

Adnan Syed lost 20 years of his life because prosecutors were convinced he was guilty. They created a narrative they wanted despite the evidence in front of them. This also means Hae's real killer/killers are still out there. Let's hope they do better this time.

The charges were dropped after DNA testing was conducted on Lee’s clothes for the first time, which uncovered multiple DNA samples, none of which belonged to Syed.

He is now a free man, and his lawyers are working on getting him some sort of compensation for the 23 years he spent in prison.

In a recent interview on Bloomberg, Yellen stated that “For the US, the kinds of metrics that we would monitor that would summarise risks — whether it’s asset valuations or a good degree of leverage — things look good, I don’t see red lights flashing”. #featured #trending

Former President Donald Trump has promised to slap unprecedented Tariffs on foreign allies, including the European Union, if he wins the 2024 presidential election.

Trump pledged to reduce the corporate tax rate from 21% to 15% for companies that make their products in the U.S.

While he had already said he wanted to cut the corporate tax rate to 15%, he had not previously tied that lower rate to keeping manufacturing inside the country. #featured #trending
