ANNAPOLIS, Md. — The Maryland Supreme Court on Thursday scrutinized a hearing that vacated’s murder conviction last year and released him after more than two decades behind bars, as the victim’s family says they weren’t given adequate opportunity to take part in the proceeding.
Outside the Annapolis courthouse after the hearing, Syed said he was looking forward to the decision. While maintaining his innocence from the start, Syed has often expressed concern for the family of Hae Min Lee, his high school ex-girlfriend who was found strangled to death and buried in an unmarked grave in 1999.
“This case is not about Mr. Syed’s underlying innocence or guilt. That dispute is simply not in the room today,” said Ari Rubin, an attorney for the Lee family, during Thursday’s arguments. “Why isn’t this a question for the General Assembly? The right that you’re speaking of is not in the plain language of the statute,” said Judge Brynja Booth.
