Maryland Supreme Court Blocks Reinstatement of Adnan Syed’s Murder Conviction, Keeping Him Free Pending Appeal.

Adnan Syed, convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee in 2000, will remain free while Maryland's Supreme Court decides whether to hear his appeal. Baltimore prosecutors moved to vacate his conviction in September, citing alternative suspects and unreliable evidence used at trial. The victim's family said they received insufficient notice to attend the hearing, which violated their right to be "treated with dignity and respect."
