TL;DR Summary
A Maryland appellate court has reinstated Adnan Syed's conviction in the murder case of his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee, which was chronicled in the hit podcast "Serial," and ordered a new hearing to be held. The court ruled that the family of the victim was not given enough time to attend a court hearing in person that led to Syed's release. The court also stated that the state's law provides victims with the right to prior notice of the hearing on a motion to vacate convictions, and that right was violated in this case.
