Syed, whose appeal was rejected by Maryland's highest court, now plans to seek relief from the U.S. Supreme Court.
Adnan Syed, whose conviction for murdering his ex-girlfriend gained national attention when it became the subject of the popular Serial podcast, exhausted all his appeals at the state level this week. But Syed's attorney said Friday they now plan to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case.
“My heart goes out to my client, who I believe was wrongfully convicted. We will keep fighting for him,” Brown said in a statement, per the Sun. “I hope someday we can fix our broken criminal justice system. Today is not that day.” The case has since been covered by other podcasts, such as Undisclosed. Most recently, it was the subject of an HBO documentary series titled The Case Against Adnan Syed, released in March.
In his request for the state's highest court to reconsider its decision, Syed's legal team argued that the Maryland judges' ruling is out of step with other courts' decisions on similar matters.
