Adnan Syed was released from prison in September after prosecutors moved to vacate his conviction.
Steve Kelly, an attorney for the family of victim Hae Min Lee, filed the request in a legal brief in the Maryland Court of Special Appeals, the state’s second-highest court.
“Nothing Mr. Lee might have said in opposition could have altered the result,” the court filing said. “His statement was, at best, an empty ritual.” Prosecutors moved to vacate Syed’s conviction in September, after a yearlong investigation. A Baltimore judge ordered a new trial and freed Syed from prison, but gave prosecutors 30 days to decide whether to dismiss the charges or proceed with a new trial. The judge ruled that the state had violated its legal obligation to share evidence that could have bolstered Syed’s defense.
