Baltimore prosecutors have announced their decision to withdraw a motion to vacate Adnan Syed's murder conviction even as they support his recent request for a sentence reduction.

Attorneys for Adnan Syed, whose legal case was chronicled in the hit podcast “Serial,” are seeking to have his prison sentence reduced.

Baltimore's new top prosecutor has dropped all charges against a Black man who stood trial four times for the same killing, freeing him after seven years in custody.
