Some of the details that Jay knew were impossible for anyone not involved in the crime to know. Jay claims that he went with Adnan to hide Hae’s car. The police later asked him where it was. “He took them to where the car was. That’s a huge thing right there.” (Koenig 8) This piece of information is huge, and completes the entire story for the police. The consistency here is the straw that broke the camel’s back, the camel being Adnan. The police said that they always suspected Adnan, of course, because he was the ex-boyfriend. Jay’s story clicked right in. When he knew where the car was left, it was the biggest thing that proved that Jay wasn’t lying and that Adnan did murder Hae. Jay had to have been with Adnan when Adnan left the car, or else Jay wouldn’t had known where the car
Physical evidence was extremely lacking, and all DNA tests conducted were clear of Syed’s DNA. Therefore, it is more than likely that Syed is innocent. The evidence, or lack thereof, presented in the case of Adnan Syed v. State of Maryland proves that Adnan Syed is not guilty of the murder of Hae Min Lee.
My verdict is Adnan Syed is innocent of the murder of Hae Min Lee. I reached this verdict after analyzing the evidence and determining that there was a reasonable doubt that he committed the murder. The following pieces of evidence showed he was not linked to the crime: The first piece of evidence talks about the lack of physical proof.
The lack of evidence makes Adnan innocent because it cannot prove anything. The state, in attempt to put Adnan in prison, cannot present any physical evidence in the case because there isn't any. In the first podcast, “The Alibi”, the listeners learn that this is a case with absolutely no
The case of Adnan Syed became very popular. There are many people know about this case. The trial convicted that Adnan had killed his ex-girlfriend. Many of Adnan’s friends believe that Adnan is not guilty. Also, many people who read the case about Adnan, even they do not personally know him see he is not guilty. Other people see he may involve in the case, so he is guilty. There are many doubts about the court's decision to imprison Adnan lifetime and these things that make this mystery trial. Adnan may be not guilty if the jury, the prosecutor, and the detective give more importance about the case and focused deeply to take a right decision. There are many questions surrounded this mystery trial.
Although I believe adnan is guilty because he killed hae, some may argue he is innocent because he was a good kid. This reason makes sense because he volunteers to help the community. This part of the story is when adnan and his friends are going to say all of the good things he did. Most people in the community are saying that he was a great kid but he still did bad stuff in the low. This proves that he is innocent because most people knows adnan and most people are saying he was a good guy.
Firstly, the Nisha call placed Adnan with Jay after the murder. This call could have been a butt-dial that rang for 2 minutes. The call could have been from Adnan, who wanted to make Jay talk with Nisha. The Nisha call does not prove Adnan killed Hae, as it simply just puts him with Jay at the time. Also, the prosecution stated that Adnan was constantly doing bad things. Everyone does bad things, but it does not make them murderers. Finally, Jay knew the location of Hae’s car. The fact that Jay knew the location of Hae’s car should arouse suspicion on him. The evidence utilized by the prosecution is circumstantial and can be disproved, and the lack of strong evidence proves Adnan’s
A lot of people wonder if Adnan Syed is guilty or innocent, today as a legal assistant I'm going to tell you one important reason why he is innocent. Adnan is not guilty because there is another potential suspect like Jay. Jay's story that "proves" Adnan's guilt, has changed every interview and testimony. Jay had intimate knowledge of the crime he knew things, like if he knew every single thing that Adnan was thinking about which makes everything looked suspicious. Also Jay's stories don't quite match Adnan's cell records.
Adnan Syed is innocent. I believe this because one, everyone says things that don’t make sense or don’t add up. Two, how could Adnan do this if he cared for Hae as much as he says he does? Three, every time it seems like the blame should fall on Adnan, people doubt that he’s not the one to blame. First, Adnan Syed is innocent in my eyes because all of his witnesses say different things and things that don’t add up. For example, almost all of the witnesses said a lot of “he was probably there”, and “from what I can recall”. Next, Adnan cares and wants the best for Hae, so why would he kill her? Adnan stated that he just wanted her to be happy that’s all he cared about, does that sound like a murder to you? Lastly, there’s too much doubt on
When someone is innocent, they aren’t blamed for a crime, and when someone is guilty, they are blamed. So, would Adnan Syed be innocent or guilty, for being accused of murdering Hae Min Lee? The podcast Serial is narrated by Sarah Koenig, which is about a man named Adnan Syed who was put in jail for “killing” a woman named Hae Mine Lee. Adnan’s ex-friend, Jay, accused and turned in Adnan into the police, stating that Adnan killed Hae. Because of this, Adnan was convicted of first-degree murder and was sentenced to life. After investigating the case, it is clear that Adnan is innocent because he had a good relationship with Hae after the breakup, he was a good student, and there was no trace of Adnan that showed he killed Hae.
The motive for this murder, claimed by the state, was that Adnan was upset about the breakup between him and Hae, but this can’t be the case with the evidence given from episode 2 of Serial. “I was like he's a p...I'm trying to conv-- explain I’m seventeen, like ‘He's a player! He has a lot of girls!’ I was like, ‘he's talking to multiple--’ I am too!” (ep. 2). Saad, Adnan’s best friend states that Adnan wasn’t obsessed with Hae and upset at her after the breakup. Yes, of course he was a little down, but he was not outraged at her because it was a mutual breakup. He adds that Adnan had started to see a girl quickly after him and Hae stopped dating. If Adnan had
Proving whether or not someone is innocent or guilty is a difficult task. That's why we rely on court hearings, lawyers, judges and unbiased jury members to help decide whether a person is guilty or innocent of crime. In the court of law, Every person is presumed innocent until proven guilty. On January 13th, 1999, Adnan Syed supposedly murdered his 18 year old ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee by manual strangulation. Hae Min Lee’s body was found in Leakin Park located in Baltimore City Maryland. On February 25, 2000 Adnan Syed was sentenced to life in prison plus 30 years, for the murder of Hae Min Lee. During the trial, Jay Wilds testimony became the sole focus of the investigation and eventually the conviction. 15 years later, extensive
Adnan Syed was a golden boy to people; he was smart and loved by everyone. He never thought he’d be convicted of his ex-girlfriend’s murder, neither did anyone else. In fact, when he first received a call from the cops regarding Hae’s disappearance he brushed it off, more scared at that fact that he was high on marijuana and talking to a police officer. He thought Hae had just ran off to California, just like everyone else. However, when they found her body in a park notorious for being a body dump his whole world turned upside down. Soon after this a friend of his, Jay, confessed to the police into helping Adnan with Hae’s murder which then put Adnan behind bars. However, was Jay’s testimony true? Unfortunately Adnan’s case has many flaws and lies to it, and the true answer still remains; is Adnan Syed actually innocent or guilty all along?
There was nothing linking Adnan to this crime other than a few fingerprints in Hae's car, which isn't a big deal since Adnan and Hae dated and would have obviously spent time together, and Jays word. Some say Jay and Adnan were close friends while others say they were just casual acquaintances. Jay says that on the morning of January 13th him and Adnan went shopping and after he dropped Adnan off at school. Jay says that Adnan then left the car with Jay because he was going to kill Hae and was going to need Jay to pick him up after. Jay says he later received a call from Adnan saying “The bitch is dead, come and get me im at Best Buy.”. Jay says he goes to Best Buy where he is shown the body. Later they drive around and end up at Leakin Park where Adnan burys Hae. Jay says Adnan asked has him if he was going to help bury the body and he says no, but he then says he helped dig the whole. That story that Jay told was the states whole
The crime had taken place in a twenty-one minute time frame, though this affidavit extracts Adnan from the scene, placing him in the library during the extent of the murder. In the letter it was written, “Dear Adnan-- I hope I spelled it right. I'm not sure if you remember talking to me in the library on January 13, but I remember chatting with you" (Episode 1: The Alibi, Page 18). According to Asia Mcclain, author of the affidavit, Adnan had spoken to her at library when he was supposedly enacting the deed of strangling Hae to death. The contents of the letter as opposed to what was established about the time frame of Hae’s death clearly demonstrates that Adnan is innocent, “Quote, "We left around 2:40," unquote. Remember, Hae is supposed to be dead by 2:36” (Episode 1: The Alibi, Page 18). Adnan had spent the time with Asia at the library, being there during the frame of time in which Hae’s murder occurred, making it impossible for him to be the killer. Adnan Syed has an alibi, putting him away from the scene of the crime, this indicates that he was innocent and should not have been
