Maryland’s highest court leaves Syed's conviction reinstated and ruled a 2022 hearing that freed him violated the legal rights of the victim’s family and must be redone.
A 2022 court hearing that freed Adnan Syed from prison violated the legal rights of the victim’s family and must be redone, Maryland’s Supreme Court ruled Friday, marking the latest development in the ongoing legal saga that gained global attention years ago through the hit podcast “Serial.” The 4-3 ruling means Syed’s murder conviction remains reinstated for the foreseeable future.
Syed was released from prison in September 2022, when a Baltimore judge overturned his conviction after city prosecutors found flaws in the evidence. However, in March 2023, the Appellate Court of Maryland, the state’s intermediate appellate court, reinstated his conviction and ordered a redo of the hearing that won Syed his freedom.
