Adnan Syed’s murder conviction on hold for now, as Maryland Supreme Court considers appeal

Associated Press  

— Adnan Syed will not return to jail and his murder conviction is on hold, for now, as Maryland’s Supreme Court decides whether to hear his appeal. With the 60 days nearing an end, Syed’s lawyer, Erica Suter, asked the Supreme Court of Maryland on Wednesday to issue a stay in the case to prevent her client from potentially being incarcerated while the court considers whether to hear an appeal. Justice Shirley Watts noted in her order, which was approved with a majority of the court’s seven justices, that the victim’s family and the office of the state’s attorney general have consented to the stay of the lower court’s mandate while the Supreme Court considers whether to hear the appeal and during the pendency of an appeal. Suter is asking the court to review several legal issues, including whether former Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby’s decision to dismiss the charges against Syed last year made the family’s court challenge moot.
