US prosecutors have dropped all charges against a Baltimore man, who was imprisoned in a case chronicled in the hit podcast Serial.

Adnan Syed served 23 years in jail after he was convicted of the murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee in 1999.

That was overturned last month after he was cleared by DNA testing.
