Syed was sentenced to life behind bars in 2000, and his case gained national notoriety from the podcast “Serial” in 2014.
His conviction was overturned because trial prosecutors did not properly turn over evidence to defense lawyers that could have helped them show someone else killed Lee. He was released from prison on Sept. 19.
