Adnan Syed's Murder Conviction Reinstated by Maryland Appellate Court.
TL;DR Summary
Maryland's Appellate Court has reinstated the convictions of Adnan Syed, who was previously found guilty of the 1999 killing of Hae Min Lee. The case was made famous by the "Serial" podcast. The court ruled that the hearing that wiped away Syed's guilty finding had to be redone because Lee's brother, Young Lee, was not given adequate notice to attend the proceeding in person. Syed's attorney plans to appeal the decision to the Maryland Supreme Court. The ruling means Syed goes from being an exoneree to a convicted murderer, at least in the eyes of the law.
