Baltimore, MD – A Maryland appellate court has vacated the get-out-of-jail free pass that Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby gave a convicted murderer last year, giving the victim’s family a chance to fight claims he was wrongly convicted.

The appellate court ruled 2-1 on March 28 that a lower court violated the rights of the victim’s brother by failing to adequately notify him of his right to attend a key hearing that resulted in the charges against the suspect, Adnan Syed, being vacated, CNN reported.

The case at the center of the decision involves the murder of 18-year-old Hae Min Lee, who was last seen alive at Woodlawn High School on Jan. 13, 1999, The Daily Record reported.

The murder conviction against Adnan Syed has reportedly been reinstated by the Maryland Court of Appeals. Syed’s case gained immense notoriety after it appeared on the popular podcast Serial.

Syed spent two decades in prison for the death of Hae Min Lee, but his murder conviction was tossed out in September, and he was subsequently released in October. However, Syed’s murder conviction has been reinstated just six months after prosecutors in Baltimore provided new evidence in the 1999 killing of Lee, per NBC News.

However, Lee’s family has filed an appeal, claiming that they were not sufficiently notified of the efforts behind Syed’s release. The Maryland appeals court ruled in their favor.

“Because the circuit court violated Mr. Lee’s right to notice of, and his right to attend, the hearing on the State’s motion to vacate … this Court has the power and obligation to remedy those violations, as long we can do so without violating Mr. Syed’s right to be free from double jeopardy,” the 2-1 decision reads, according to the New York Post. ...
