Maryland's highest court orders redo of court hearing for Adnan Syed in 'Serial' case

ANNAPOLIS, Md.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) 鈥 A 2022 court hearing that freed Adnan Syed from prison violated the legal rights of the victim鈥檚 family and must be redone, Maryland鈥檚 Supreme Court ruled Friday, marking the latest development in the ongoing legal saga that gained global attention years ago through the hit podcast 鈥淪erial.鈥

The 4-3 ruling comes about 11 months after last October in a case that has been fraught with legal twists and divided court rulings since Syed was convicted in 2000 of killing his high school ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee.
