The conviction of Adnan Syed for the 1999 murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee - which was overturned on Monday - had systemic problems", the host of the Serial podcast, Sarah Koenig, said, as the slain young woman's family said they were deeply disappointed" at how quickly developments had progressed.

A Baltimore judge ordered the release of Syed - whose case was chronicled in Serial as well as projects that separately followed up on that true crime series - after ruling that the state violated its legal obligation to share potentially exculpatory evidence with Syed's defense.
