Judge rules Adnan Syed will remain free, granting his motion for sentence reduction

CNN  

CNN — Adnan Syed will remain free despite his conviction for the 1999 murder of his high school ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, a Maryland judge ruled. Syed’s conviction was vacated in 2022 and he was released and has remained out of prison since, even though the Maryland Supreme Court upheld a lower appellate court’s decision to reinstate his conviction last year. “Adnan is committed to continuing to be a productive member of his community and living a life centered around his family.” The Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s Office supported Syed’s sentence reduction though attorneys for Lee’s family opposed his release, asking the court to deny his motion at a hearing last month. David Sanford, attorney for Lee’s family, said in a statement about Schiffer’s order Thursday, “Absolutely nothing changes the fact that Mr. Syed remains convicted of first-degree premeditated murder due to overwhelming direct and circumstantial evidence. This Court finds that the Defendant’s return to prison would be unproductive and unfair.” Case drew international attention In 2014, the podcast “Serial” raised significant questions about Syed’s conviction and legal representation.
