Murder podcast, desperate prosecutor overrule 25 years of justice

The 'Serial' podcast investigated a murder case from 1999 and set in motion a series of events that still aren't resolved. And who speaks for the victim and her family?

Invoking a law allowing prosecutors to seek to vacate a conviction based on substantial evidence of innocence, Mosby flipped the state’s position on its head. After her office had defended Syed’s conviction for more than 20 years, Mosby was now advocating for Syed’s release.   Brett Talley is co-host of the weekly true crime podcasts "The Prosecutors" and "The Prosecutors: Legal Briefs." 

Wilds, of course, was not entirely credible. His story changed, and he minimized his own involvement in the crime. But he was not the first person to reveal to the police what Syed had done. That had been Jennifer Pusateri, who had met Syed and Wilds in a mall parking lot the night of the murder. Wilds was understandably distressed, and Syed had barely left the scene when he spilled his guts.
