A Baltimore judge is expected to rule on whether Adnan Syed’s life sentence should be reduced Wednesday afternoon after a long-winded hearing.

David Sanford, an attorney for Hae Min Lee’s family, asked the judge to deny Syed’s motion to reduce his sentence, reminding the court that he remains a convicted murderer and hasn’t expressed remorse or accepted responsibility for the crime.

Adnan Syed remains a convicted murderer and out of prison with his future in limbo after a judge heard testimony Wednesday without a ruling from the bench on his request to reduce his sentence to time served.

More than 25 years ago, 18-year-old Hae Min Lee was found murdered at Baltimore's Leakin Park, which ultimately led to the arrest and conviction of her ex-boyfriend Adnan Syed.

Baltimore Circuit Judge Jennifer Schiffer is slated to hear arguments Wednesday over Syed’s sentence after the “Serial” podcast subject requested in December to have it reduced under the Juvenile Restoration Act.

Adnan Syed, whose murder case was chronicled in the "Serial" podcast in 2014, returned to a Baltimore courtroom as a judge considered whether to reduce his sentence under the Juvenile Restoration Act.

Syed, whose case garnered international attention after the “Serial” podcast, has a hearing Wednesday seeking to reduce his sentence and allow him to remain free.

Syed has maintained his innocence in the 1999 killing of his high school ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, whose family has opposed any sentence reduction. The case was featured on the “Serial” podcast.
