Maryland's highest court denies new trial for Adnan Syed, whose murder conviction was chronicled in the hit podcast 'Serial.'
Maryland's highest court denied a new trial Friday for a man whose murder conviction was chronicled in the hit podcast"Serial."
Syed is serving a life sentence after he was convicted in 2000 of strangling 17-year-old Hae Min Lee and burying her body in a Baltimore park. More than a decade later, the popular"Serial" podcast brought Syed's case to millions of listeners with its debut 2014 season. The show revealed little-known evidence and attracted millions of listeners, shattering podcast-streaming and downloading records.
"Ms. McClain would have been an alibi witness who contradicted the defendant's own statements, which were themselves already internally inconsistent; thus Ms. McClain's proffered testimony could have further undermined Mr. Syed's credibility," the court wrote. Syed's attorney Justin Brown said in a statement that they are"devastated" by the decision"but we will not give up on Adnan Syed."
