Maryland’s Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling to overturn a vacancy of Adnan Syed’s murder conviction, dealing a blow to a movement to free the man who supporters say was exonerated by evidence and procedural failures in his first case.
Syed was initially convicted for Hae Min Lee’s murder in 2000, a trial which the podcast “Serial” covered, detailing the case and poking holes in the evidence brought against Syed, then the ex-boyfriend of Lee.
