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.

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.

A Baltimore judge is expected to rule on whether Adnan Syed’s life sentence should be reduced Wednesday afternoon after an hourslong morning hearing. Attorneys broke for lunch after testimony bled into the afternoon.
