In Part 3, the state's case against Adnan Syed falls apart as Adnan's legal team PROVES that he didn't murder Hae Min Lee. The state-held DNA evidence is finally tested and it all but exonerates Adnan. THIS IS THE EPISODE WHERE WE FINALLY GET ALL THE ANSWERS. 

Directed by Academy Award nominee Amy Berg, "The Case Against Adnan Syed" explores the 1999 disappearance and murder of 18-year-old Baltimore County high school student Hae Min Lee, and the subsequent conviction of her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, a case brought to global attention by the hugely popular "Serial" podcast.
