Surviving relatives of Hae Min Lee contend their rights were violated because they didn’t receive enough notice about the court hearing that won Syed his freedom.
Lawyers for the Lee family said that a closed-door meeting between a Baltimore judge and local prosecutors in advance of the vacatur hearing amounted to a violation of open meetings standards.
Attorneys for Syed argue the Lee family’s appeal became moot after prosecutors dropped the charges. During oral arguments Thursday, a three-judge panel focused much of their questioning on that argument. The judges also raised questions about why the Baltimore State’s Attorney’s Office chose to drop charges against Syed eight days before their 30-day deadline — when an appeal from the Lee family was pending.
He attended the Thursday oral arguments in person but didn’t participate or provide comment to reporters.
