Adnan Syed's appeal denied by Maryland courts.
TL;DR
Maryland's Appellate Court has denied Adnan Syed's motion to reconsider its earlier ruling that reinstated his murder conviction and life sentence. Syed's attorneys had requested a reconsideration of the March opinion that restored his convictions and sentence from the 1999 killing of Hae Min Lee. The legal saga of Syed, who has always maintained his innocence, spawned the popular podcast "Serial." The case could set a precedent regarding victims' rights in Maryland, and Syed's lawyers plan to ask the Supreme Court of Maryland to review the lower court's March opinion.
