TL;DR

Adnan Syed, who spent over two decades in prison for the murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee, has asked the Maryland Supreme Court to review a lower court's decision that reversed his vacated conviction. Syed's attorneys argue that Lee's brother had confirmed he would attend the hearing via Zoom, but a state appellate court reinstated Syed's conviction after ruling that a lower court had violated the rights of Lee's brother to attend the hearing.
