But however at the end of the day we are our own creators and we chose who we interact with.

In Sarah Koenig’s Serial, Adnan Syed has proven to anyone listening that he is guilty of murdering Hae Min Lee by denying any recollection of the day in question, manipulating his audience and Ms. Koenig herself, and by having all evidence point the finger in his direction. Mr. Adnan Syed was just 17 years old in 1999 when he was accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee. Adnan maintains that he has no memory whatsoever of what happened that day on January 13th, 1999. “I mean,

Vardaman is the youngest child of Addie and Anse. Throughout the whole novel Vardaman did not seem to quite understand death. Although his age was never given we can assume he’s much younger through his childlike thoughts and how he speaks like a kid. He was traumatized from his mother's death and would deal with it in many different ways. In Vardaman's thoughts comparing his mom to the fish he had caught made perfect sense.

Along with being popular among his peers, he was an EMT, a track athlete, a football player, and a star student. Charisma and a sterling record does not exempt someone from being guilty of a crime, however an alibi and affidavit does. Asia McClain, Adnan’s fellow schoolmate and acquaintance, they were not close but spoke every so often. McClain wrote letters to Adnan during the time of his trial. Her letters stated that, “ I’m not sure if you remember talking to me in the library on January 13, but I remember chatting with you” ( Serial Podcast ). She later writes an affidavit for Adnan. Both the affidavit and the alibi were never shown in court, thus preventing it from being considered by the jury. Since Asia McClain swears under oath that she saw him at Woodlawn High School Library at the time of Hae’s murder, then he must have been at the library; since she

Saad explains how Adnan was already seeing a girl who was from philly. Considering Adnan was a player and dated multiple girls, it does not seem like he was motivated enough to murder Hae.  Adnan explains what it was like when him and Hae broke up “Each time that we broke up or each time-- let me just say this, each time that she ended the relationship or took a break, it was never a thing where I was like pestering her or, like, going to her house and knocking on the door or chasing her down”. Every time Hae thought it was good for them to take a break or breakup Adnan never really cared because he didn’t go around and beg her back all the time. He just moved on and kept being the player he was.

Jay’s testimony portrayed Adnan as this vengeful, master liar, and manipulator who had the characters of a killer. The State believed that he was risking everything for this girl who at the end broke his heart. The prosecution was trying to show that the disapproval from his parents and humiliation triggered his actions. He constantly lied to his parents about his social life because he did many things that went against his religion. Honestly, who hasn’t lied to their parents because they were doing disapproving things? Adnan was just a typical teenager with strict immigrant parents. His relationship with Hae was an “on again off again” relationship means he would have cared about the break up at first, but later moved on. Adnan said he loved her enough for a high school love, but wasn’t obsessed after the break up. His friends said that his response to
