Serial witness Asia McClain has given a TV interview explaining why she has chosen to come forward.
McClain has given her testimony 17 years after Adnan Syed, the subject of Serial, was convicted for murder.
Syed is hoping for a new trial that will overturn his conviction using new evidence which includes McClain’s.
McClain, an alibi witness, had a message for Syed about not coming forward in 2010.
She told ABC News: ‘I was compelled by my children. Keeping that legacy, integrity, and stepping up to tell the truth was very important to me. I want my kids to know their mum was strong.’
