Baltimore prosecutors back Adnan Syed's request to have his sentence reduced to time served
- The Maryland State’s Attorney’s Office supports Adnan Syed’s request for a reduced sentence in the 1999 killing of Hae Min Lee, his ex-girlfriend and classmate at Woodlawn High School.
- Syed’s attorneys filed a motion in December 2024 to reduce his sentence based on a law allowing those imprisoned for at least 20 years for crimes committed as minors to seek changes.
- The state requested the court to grant Syed’s request for a hearing and modify his sentence to life, suspending all but time served with probation.
- State's Attorney Ivan Bates stated that Syed's request is 'in the interest of justice' and emphasized the belief in rehabilitating individuals who committed crimes as juveniles.
