The prosecution's initial move to have Syed´s conviction quashed was prompted by the discovery of information regarding two alternative suspects and unreliable cell phone data used to convict.Įrica Suter, one of Syed´s defense lawyers, said Tuesday that "the results of the DNA testing exclude Adnan and confirm what Adnan and his supporters have always known: Adnan Syed is innocent." "Because of the advances in DNA, we were able to extract DNA from (Lee´s) shoes," Mosby said, adding that her murder remains an "open and pending investigation." Mosby said Tuesday that recently tested DNA evidence was "exculpatory" for Syed, who has steadfastly maintained his innocence.

Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa Phinn had tossed out Syed's conviction last month at Mosby's request and ordered his immediate release.
