How America's most popular podcast led to the re-trial of a convicted murderer

Convicted of the murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee in 2000, Adnan Syed has always maintained his innocence. Serial investigated the story, hearing from witnesses not called to trial and gathered new evidence. Now a judge has ruled that Syed should have his case heard again. First you will hear a clip from Serial, followed by Justin George who is a journalist with the Baltimore Sun. He did some of the investigative work on the podcast and spoke to Newsday's Nkem Ifejika.
