'We will not give up,' his lawyer said.
Adnan Syed, the man who has spent nearly 20 years in prison for the murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee, has been denied a new trial, the Maryland Court of Appeals announced Friday.Serialreversal of the court victory
Syed and his legal team won last March, when the Maryland Court of Special Appeals ruled that his"Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of counsel was violated" by a failure to investigate a potential alibi witness, Asia McClain, who has said she saw Syed in the school library at the time Lee was murdered.
Syed's attorney, Justin Brown, said in a statement that the Court of Appeals, which is the state's highest court, decided that McClain's story"would not have affected the outcome of the proceeding." "Unfortunately we live in a binary criminal justice system in which you either win or you lose," Brown said."Today we lost by a 4-3 vote."
