The 'Serial' podcast leads to an HBO docu-series

Adnan Syed was convicted of killing his high school girlfriend in 1999. The 2014 podcast, "Serial," cast doubt on his guilt and led to his attorneys filing an appeal. Now, documentary filmmaker Amy Berg covers the story in the four-part HBO documentary, "The Case Against Adnan Syed." (Syed's appeal was turned down on March 8, two days before the first episode aired.) Berg spoke with John Horn about her film.
