The Lee family has asked an appellate court to redo a hearing that vacated the murder conviction of Adnan Syed, arguing that prosecutors and the circuit court violated the brother's rights. On Thursday, the Appellate Court of Maryland heard arguments from both sides of the case, with the Lee family requesting that Syed's conviction be reinstated in the meantime. The court did not immediately issue a ruling, but indicated that it would issue a written opinion soon, as the case continues to spark a national conversation about the criminal justice system.
