A Maryland appellate court has reinstated Adnan Syed’s murder conviction and ordered a new hearing in the case, marking the latest development in the protracted legal odyssey chronicled in the podcast “Serial.” Though Syed’s conviction has been reinstated, he won't immediately be taken back into custody. In a 2-1 decision released Tuesday, the Appellate Court of Maryland ruled a lower court failed to give sufficient notice to the victim’s family when it scheduled the September hearing that vacated Syed’s conviction and allowed him to regain his freedom after more than two decades behind bars. Maryland law provides victims with the right to prior notice of such hearings, and the court ruled that right was violated in the case of Hae Min Lee’s brother.

The trial has made “uphill” synonymous with “guilty,” and shone a spotlight on the legal implications of the etiquette rules that govern the expensive snow sport.
