Adnan Syed, the central figure in the popular podcast Serial, has been granted a new trial. Baltimore Circuit Judge Martin Welch handed down the decision today, finding that Mr. Syed's attorney erred at trial in failing to cross-examine an expert concerning cell tower data that seemed to put Mr. Syed's cellphone near the site where the victim, Hae Min Lee, was found. Mr. Syed has been in prison for 16 years. More here from The Hollywood Reporter.
