Maryland court reinstates Adnan Syed's murder conviction and orders a new hearing in the case, marking latest development in protracted legal odyssey chronicled in hit podcast 'Serial'
Syed, 41, was released last September after serving more than two decades in prison for Lee's murder after prosecutors provided new DNA evidence that pointed to other suspects.
The intermediate court's order does not go into effect for 60 days, which delays any immediate consequences and allows the parties time to decide whether to appeal and schedule upcoming proceedings accordingly.Maryland law provides victims with the right to prior notice of conviction vacatur hearings, and that right was violated in the case of Hae Min Lee's brother, the appellate court ruled.
Lee's family filed the appeal arguing that they were not properly notified of the efforts to release Syed. The court also said the new hearing should be more transparent, requiring that "evidence supporting the motion to vacate is presented, and the court states its reasons in support of its decision."David Sanford, an attorney representing Young Lee, said that piece of the ruling in particular has serious implications because it means there will be "evidence for the world to see and examine.
