Adnan Syed's appeal for sentence reconsideration denied by Maryland court.

A Maryland appeals court has denied a request to reconsider its decision to reinstate Adnan Syed's murder conviction. Syed's lawyer plans to appeal to the Maryland Supreme Court. The victim's family claimed a lower court violated their rights, and the appellate court upheld their arguments. Syed regained his freedom last year when Baltimore prosecutors vacated his conviction, but the victim's family said they received insufficient notice to attend the hearing in person, and the appellate court reinstated his conviction.
