This is the core of the story:
After reviewing the case Prosecutors concluded in September 2022 that new information had been discovered that cast doubt on Syed’s conviction and named two other suspects.
The state’s acquittal petition was scheduled to go to the lower court for a later hearing. Hae Min’s brother, Young Lee, was unable to go to court in person on short notice.
Mr Lee asked the judge to postpone the hearing by a week so he could attend the hearing in person. but the judge refused So he had to use a zoom program.
It was determined that a statute in Maryland that gave victims the right to advance trial notice had been broken.
