Adnan Syed's murder conviction still stands despite problems with the evidence against him.
Baltimore prosecutors withdraw a motion to vacate his murder conviction even though they support his request for a sentence reduction.
Syed was convicted in 1999 killing of his high school ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee , who was found strangled to death and buried in a makeshift grave.
His attorney: " Tonight , the state’s attorney got it wrong. We will continue to fight to clear his name".
When prosecutors sought to vacate Syed ’s conviction in 2022 , they cited numerous problems with the case, including alternative suspects and unreliable evidence presented at trial. A judge agreed to vacate the conviction and free Syed. Prosecutors in Mosby ’s office later chose not to refile charges after they said DNA testing excluded Syed as a suspect. Even though the appellate courts reinstated his conviction, they allowed Syed to remain free while the case continued..
