The Maryland Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Young Lee, the victim's brother, to reinstate Adnan Syed's murder conviction.

The panel ruled 2-1 to vacate the original court's order to vacate Syed's conviction, which had been overturned in September.

Syed has always maintained his innocence since he was convicted in 2000 for the murder of Hae Min Lee.

The appeals court's decision was due to Young Lee's argument that his rights were violated because he was not given 'notice and a meaningful opportunity to participate' in the hearing.

The court's ruling stated that a new, legally compliant and transparent hearing must take place in order to give Lee the chance to attend, present evidence, and have the court state its reasons in support of its decision.
