More than a decade after Adnan Syed’s murder case attracted massive interest through the hit podcast “Serial,” a Baltimore judge is considering a request to reduce his sentence to time served, which would allow him to remain free indefinitely even though his conviction still stands.

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.

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

The legal battle over Adnan Syed’s murder conviction was scrutinized in the hit podcast “Serial” a decade ago. And it keeps twisting and turning.

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 prosecutors have announced their decision to withdraw a motion to vacate Adnan Syed's murder conviction even as they support his recent request for a sentence reduction.

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.

The decision from Baltimore prosecutors comes ahead of a scheduled hearing Wednesday morning where a judge will consider whether to reduce Syed’s sentence, but this means the conviction itself is no longer in question.
