Maryland's highest court denies new trial for Adnan Syed of 'Serial' podcast
ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Maryland's highest court denied a new trial Friday for a man whose murder conviction was chronicled in the hit podcast"Serial."
The court reversed a Court of Special Appeals' judgment, sending the case back to that court with directions to reverse a Baltimore Circuit Court judgment granting a new trial. In 2016, a lower court ordered a retrial for Syed on grounds that his attorney, Cristina Gutierrez, who died in 2004, didn't contact an alibi witness and provided ineffective counsel. The state appealed. The special appeals court upheld the lower court's ruling last year and the state appealed that decision, too.
