Hae Min Lee’s family asks Maryland appeals court to halt Adnan Syed’s case pending appeal | Ap

Vancouver

BALTIMORE — The family of Hae Min Lee is asking the Maryland Court of Special Appeals to halt Adnan Syed’s circuit court case pending the family’s appeal of a Baltimore judge’s overturning of Syed’s murder conviction in Lee’s death.

In a six-page motion filed Sept. 29, Hae Min Lee’s brother Young Lee asked the appellate court to halt further proceedings in the case because the family was not given enough notice about the hearing to overturn Syed’s conviction.
