The Supreme Court said on Monday that it will not hear an appeal from Adnan Syed, whose 2000 murder conviction was the focus of the first season of the popular audio show 'Serial.'
Syed was convicted of first-degree murder for the killing of his on-and-off girlfriend Hae Min Lee while the two were both attending high school in Maryland, and Syed was 17-years-old.
Syed's attorneys urged the court to reverse his conviction on the grounds that his original attorney failed to present crucial evidence in his defense. Maryland argued that the new evidence would, at best, make the jury question the timing of the murder, but not Syed's guilt. The timing of the murder was a "small part" of the overall case.
"In this case, however, the jury never heard McClain's testimony," Syed's attorney Catherine Stetson wrote in a brief.
