Judge Halts Sexual Abuse Lawsuit Against Trump Education Secretary Pick Linda McMahon

A judge has paused a lawsuit against Linda McMahon, Trump's Education Secretary pick, and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), over allegations of failing to act on child sexual abuse by a ringside announcer in the 1980s. The case is on hold pending a Maryland Supreme Court ruling on a law lifting the statute of limitations for such lawsuits. The lawsuit claims McMahon and WWE were negligent in protecting minors from abuse by Melvin Phillips Jr., a former WWE announcer. McMahon denies the allegations, and WWE plans to challenge the law if the case proceeds.

"Maryland Supreme Court to Decide Adnan Syed's Fate in 'Serial' Case"

Syed spent 24 years fighting charges for the 1999 murder of his former girlfriend, Hae Min Lee. Last year, a judge vacated Syed's conviction, but it was reinstated by an appeals court in March. The Supreme Court will now decide whether to send Syed back to prison or throw out his conviction. A ruling is expected later this year.

Maryland Supreme Court to Review Adnan Syed's Conviction in Landmark Case

The Maryland Supreme Court has agreed to review the murder conviction of Adnan Syed, the subject of the popular podcast "Serial." Syed was convicted in 2000 for the killing of Hae Min Lee, but his conviction was vacated by a circuit court judge in September due to problems with evidence disclosure. However, an appellate court panel reinstated the conviction, citing violations of Lee's brother's rights during the hearing. The Supreme Court will hear arguments on October 5th and could potentially wipe away Syed's conviction.

Adnan Syed's legal team appeals to Maryland Supreme Court over vacated murder conviction.

Adnan Syed, who spent over two decades in prison for the murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee, has asked the Maryland Supreme Court to review a lower court's decision that reversed his vacated conviction. Syed's attorneys argue that Lee's brother had confirmed he would attend the hearing via Zoom, but a state appellate court reinstated Syed's conviction after ruling that a lower court had violated the rights of Lee's brother to attend the hearing. Syed's attorney hopes that the Supreme Court will consider the broader implications of the case for the legal system.
