The Maryland Court of Appeals has reinstated the murder conviction against Adnan Syed, the subject of the popular "Serial" podcast and an upcoming HBO docu-series.
Syed, whose conviction in the 1999 killing of his former girlfriend Hae Min Lee was vacated in 2016, won't get a new trial after all. In a 4-3 decision on Friday, Maryland's highest court held that "given the totality of the evidence" against him, there was not a "substantial possibility that the jury would have reached a different verdict" were he to receive a new trial.
HBO's four-part series, "The Case Against Adnan Syed," is set to begin on Sunday.
