Maryland Supreme Court Delays Reinstatement of Adnan Syed's Murder Conviction

Adnan Syed's murder conviction is on hold as Maryland's Supreme Court decides whether to hear his appeal. The state's highest court issued an order that prevents the reinstatement of Syed's murder conviction by a lower court. Syed regained his freedom in September from a judge after Baltimore prosecutors moved to vacate his conviction, saying they reviewed the case and found alternative suspects as well as unreliable evidence used at trial.
