Young Lee previously said the motion to vacate the conviction of Syed, whose case was featured on the 'Serial' podcast, left him feeling 'betrayed.'
Steven Kelly, the Lee family attorney, filed a notice Wednesday on behalf of Lee’s brother, Young Lee, appealing Circuit Court Judge Melissa Phinn’s decision to vacate the conviction of Adnan Syed.
“The notice of appeal is the first step in seeking the Maryland Court of Special Appeals’ review of the potential violations of Maryland’s victim’s rights statutes in connection with the hearing,” Kelly said.Syed was arrested for Lee’s murder in February 1999, when he was a 17-year-old in high school. Investigators at the time determined that Lee, 18, died by strangulation, and Syed was convicted of murder in 2000 and sentenced to life behind bars.
David Jaros, a law professor at the University of Baltimore, said that he believes the court will deny the family’s motion, but also “chide” the judge and state’s attorney for not doing a better job of giving more notice of the hearing.“The last thing that would be appropriate for a judge to look past the constitutional violation out of sympathy for the victim’s family,” Jaros said.
He said that he was “not against investigation or anything of that sort,” adding, “Knowing that there could be someone out there free for killing my sister — it’s tough.”
