Marilyn Nieves/Getty Images(BALTIMORE) Prosecutors have dropped charges against Adnan Syed, the man who was convicted of killing his girlfriend in 2000, a case made popular by the 2014 "Serial" podcast that investigated issues with the prosecution. A spokesperson for the Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office confirmed to ABC News that prosecutors are dropping the case against Syed. A lawyer representing Syed also confirmed to ABC News that charges against Syed were dropped. Syed, who is now 41, had been serving a life sentence for the past 23 years more than half his life since his arrest in 1999. He was just 17 when he was convicted of first-degree murder, robbery, kidnapping and imprisonment of his ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, in 2000. On Jan. 13, 1999, 18-year-old Lee vanished after leaving Woodlawn High School in Baltimore, Maryland, where she was a senior. Her body was found around one month later buried in a park in Baltimore. She had been strangled. S
