BALTIMORE — The Maryland Court of Special Appeals has determined that Hae Min Lee’s family’s appeal of the court proceedings that freed Adnan Syed can continue.
The Lee family, led by Young Lee, filed an appeal in late September claiming their rights as crime victims had been violated because they were not given enough notice about the Sept. 19 court hearing in which Syed’s murder conviction was overturned, with a judge ordering a new trial.
Syed was convicted in 2000 of murdering Hae Min Lee, his ex-girlfriend and former Woodlawn High School classmate. Syed’s case became known internationally after the podcast “Serial” documented his legal saga.
