Maryland’s highest court reinstates conviction of Adnan Syed, whose case gained fame after the 'Serial' podcast examined his cause.
"We are devastated by the Court of Appeals’ decision, but we will not give up," his lawyer said.
The Maryland Court of Appeals found that Syed received a “deficient performance” from his defense lawyer, the late Cristina Gutierrez, but the weight of the evidence still pointed toward guilt. "We are devastated by the Court of Appeals’ decision, but we will not give up on Adnan Syed," defense lawyer, hinting that an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court is forthcoming."Unfortunately we live in a binary criminal justice system in which you either win or you lose. Today we lost by a 4-3 vote."
"There was a credible alibi witness who was with Adnan at the precise time of the murder and now the Court of Appeals has said that witness would not have affected the outcome of the proceeding," according to Brown's statement."We think just the opposite is true. From the perspective of the defendant, there is no stronger evidence than an alibi witness."
