Judge formally sentences Adnan Syed to time served in ‘Serial’ podcast case

Adnan Syed, whose murder case was featured in the 'Serial' podcast, was re-sentenced to the 20-plus years he has already served for his 2000 conviction, plus five years of probation.
Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Jennifer B. Schiffer determined that Syed is not a danger to the public and that the interests of justice will be better served by a reduced sentence under the Juvenile Restoration Act.
Syed served 23 years in prison before his conviction was vacated in 2022, but his murder conviction was reinstated in March 2023 after the Maryland Appellate Court found the circuit court violated the rights of Hae Min Lee's brother.
