The Supreme Court of Maryland ordered a lower court to redo a hearing regarding Adnan Syed's case after determining the victim's brother's rights were violated during the original hearing.
The ruling highlighted that Young Lee was given less than one business day's notice for a critical hearing, denying his right to participate in the proceedings.
In upholding the appellate court's decision, the Supreme Court acknowledged that Ms. Lee's brother had requested a week-long postponement, which was unreasonably denied.
The case, originally high-profile due to the podcast Serial, underscores the complex relationship between judicial protocols and the rights of crime victims' families.
