Maryland Supreme Court Delays Adnan Syed's Murder Conviction Reinstatement Amid Appeal
TL;DR Summary
The Maryland Supreme Court has temporarily halted the reinstatement of Adnan Syed's murder conviction as it considers whether to take up the case. Syed was convicted of murder in 2000 and sentenced to life behind bars for the killing of Hae Min Lee, an 18-year-old he once dated. The case drew widespread attention when the podcast "Serial" investigated it. Syed's conviction was vacated in September 2020, but the Maryland Appellate Court reinstated it in March 2021. The legal wrangling continues, and Syed remains free for now.
