A wildy rare appeal is sending Adnan Syed back to court — this time with Hae Min Lee's family in the room.

“They’re saying that a crime victim should have basically the same rights and role as a prosecuting attorney.” He described any ruling in favor of Lee’s family as “extraordinary.” But those on the other side are quite victorious because their position is that victims’ rights should be respected, particularly in a case like this, where they’ve been living with the loss of a family member for 20 years and would like some transparency in how the hearing proceeds.” “This is a case in which the victims rights proponents are looking to expand the rights that they already have in our criminal justice system,” University of Maryland professor Doug Colbert, who was one of Syed’s original lawyers, The law doesn’t require them to have a say in what happens. She pointed out that although the court’s motion is basically a technicality, it does raise questions about the role of technology in a modern criminal justice setting. “At the same time,” she stressed, “it’s also rare [not to] provide the victim’s family with notice.” On Tuesday, March 28, the appellate panel, in a 2-1 decision, reversed the earlier decision to vacate, temporarily reinstating Syed’s conviction. “But he couldn’t do that in a timely fashion, and so instead, last minute, he got on a Zoom call.

According to the The subject of the revolutionary first season of [Serial](https://www.vox.com/serial-podcast) finally had his conviction for the 1999 murder of Lee, his ex-girlfriend, vacated in September 2022.
