Strangling Hae Min Lee was exactly what Adnan wanted to do ever since she dumped him for a different guy. Sarah Koenig is all over this topic in her podcast “Serial”. Sarah lays out all of the evidence for the listeners so they may decide for themselves if Adnan is guilty. Here is what has happened. Adnan was arrested for the murder of Hae and put in prison, but there are still some people who think everyone is innocent. He is not innocent. Adnan has a terrible alibi that cannot be supported with confidence, the cell phone records place him far away from school the night Hae was killed, and Jay’s story is inconsistent, but way more probable than Adnan’s story. Adnan is guilty of Hae Lee’s death and he does not argue furiously about being put in prison wrongly. Adnan is guilty of Hae Lee’s murder because he all of the evidence points to him and if it doesn’t the other suspect points at Adnan. Adnan has a terrible alibi. He said he was a track after school, but there was time between track and when school ended. Adnan staged his alibi just as a real murder would. He planned out the amount of time it would take him to kill Hae and get to track practice(Koenig 1). Even if Adnan was at track, one of his friends said that he was running late(Koenig 1). The coach said he doesn’t even recall Adnan being at practice because …show more content…

Adnan Syed is innocent due to the exaggeration of J's confession. Confessions are vital to a murder case, until it is fabricated. Jay has told 2 different scenarios of the day Hae was killed. In the episode “ Deal with Jay” it states, “ In the first taped statement, Jay says he refused
In my opinion, Adnan Syed should not have been found guilty under his circumstances; he was wrongfully convicted for the murder of Hae Min Lee and should be exonerated. Adnan was wrongfully convicted because he was found guilty simply on the basis of reasonable doubt, had been exploited by his defense lawyer, and was provided with ineffective counseling by Christina Gutierrez,.
Seventeen years ago, a girl went missing, then a body was uncovered. What chain of events had occurred in order to compose this crime? As presented and narrated by Sarah Koenig, the Serial podcast informs readers on the murder of a highschool girl. The year was 1999 and Hae Min Lee, the victim of the crime, was found strangled and buried in Leakin Park. Adnan Syed, Hae’s ex boyfriend, was deemed the main suspect responsible for her death. Supposedly, his motive was jealousy and anger caused after Hae had broken up with him in exchange for the companionship of her co worker, Don. Although this wasn’t the case, according to Adnan and other people who knew him. Yet Adnan was still tried as guilty, and the foundation for that case was the information
What would you do if you a master manipulator going to jail.the Story of serial is narrated by Sarah Koening is about trying to get a guilty man out of prison. Adnan syed is a monster, a master manipulator, and a murder in jail. Jay wilds the witness that brought the murder to jail. This story is interesting because it’s story of murder getting free. I believe that adnan syed is guilty of the murder of hae min lee because he had a good motive for it and his hand print was in hae’s car.
It is said that school ended at 2:15pm and that Hae was dead and in the trunk of her own car and at Best Buy by 2:36pm. Sarah and her producer rerouted the path from the school to Best Buy and said that it would be impossible to get from the school to Best Buy in twenty-one minutes (Ep. 5). There is a lot of traffic that time of day and the drive time is 18 minutes, only leaving 3 minutes to kill and hide the body. That means that 2 minutes of that time would be manual strangulation. It takes more than one minute to hide a body, therefore Adnan could not have committed the murder. A final piece of evidence in Adnan’s favor is that one of Hae’s friends remembers having a conversation with her at 2:36, and another friend remembers seeing Hae in the gym at 3:00 pm (Ep. 9). If these people saw and talked to Hae at these times, then it is impossible to Hae to have been dead, in the trunk of her car, at Best Buy, at 2:36 pm. The timeline does not add up, if this is the
or something. And I sat down next to him. We starting chatting,” by Asia Mclean. This piece of evidence gives Adnan an abili to where he was after school and it causes us to believe that he couldn’t have killed Hae. The final piece of evidence Adnan and how he was during the
Think about how often people get arrested and how often trials are held every year, let alone every day. Oftentimes, innocent people are accused and charged for a crime that wasn’t their fault. This was the case for Adnan Syed, an innocent guy who was put in jail for a murder case. On January 13, 1999, Hae Min Lee was murdered at the age of 17. The evidence in this case was very unexplainable, but of course, the state went after Hae’s ex-boyfriend Adnan who really had nothing to do with the murder. Things that prove Adnan’s innocence are the breakup between him and Hae, how Adnan thought about and his feelings towards Hae, how the times and stories told with others didn’t suit well, and his alibi. Additionally, his DNA didn’t match with items
In the documentary, "Making of Murderer," a lower class man named Steven Avery is accused of the death of Teresa Halbach.

A seventeen year old boy is convicted to a life sentence in prison, fourteen years later his case is the most listened to podcast in the world. Sarah Koenig is the author of this world famous podcast “Serial”. Adnan Syed the boy convicted of taking the life of a young girl named Hae Min Lee, is now locked up with low key evidence to why he was put behind bars. Jay, a pot smoking boy, tells leading executives the advanced and revised story to why Adnan is guilty of the actions taken to lead him to be guilty. Serial the podcast explains how the life of a popular seventeen year old boy was brutally awakened by the brief amount of time given to justify his case before thrown into jail to be left unsolved to this day. Adnan Syed should be proven
Admittedly some people think Adnan is guilty of the murder. People think that because when Adnan was in highschool he used to smoke weed with his friends. However that does not prove anything because other times Adnan always went to track practice after school. All the people around him says he’s a nice person. So therefore there’s no reason for Adnan to kill Hae Min Lee.
On January 13, at the time the State claims Hae was murdered, Adnan was at the Woodlawn Public Library, and there was a witness to prove it. “Her name's Asia McClain. [Adnan’s] like, right after I got arrested, she wrote me a couple of letters. And she said she also went to see my family. And she said she specifically remembers me being at the library, at the public library, right after school.” (Koenig 8) This demonstrates clearly that Adnan couldn’t have killed Hae between 2:15 and 2:36, and there’s a witness to prove this fact. Also, Hae was in a different location at that time, because a girl named Summer talked to her after school that day. “Summer said this conversation about Hae not getting on the bus happened… probably at around 2:30, 2:45… (Summer) All of the things that I’m unclear about or kinda shaky about, or-- I am clear on that. 2:36 would not have been possible for her to even have met him wherever because I know for a fact that she was with me during that time, or at the school during that time.” (Koenig 9) Summer confirms that Hae was not killed between 2:15 and 2:36, even though that’s what the State says. Summer is confirming that the State is wrong
“The audience were eager to spread obnoxious rumors about the killer created a turmoil at the crime scene, raising questions about our ability to ensure the public’s security. Oh, don’t even try to pretend you have already forgotten all of these details. I called up a news reporter from the crowd and proclaimed that we are going to practice the true justice by catching this serial killer.”
In conclusion, Adnan is not guilty because Adnan had lost interest in Hae. He wasn’t upset after the breakup and his emotions didn’t hit him. Adnan wouldn’t be capable of hurting someone that he had deep feelings for, like how his classmates were saying “He’s a sweet guy”. Especially, since he has been having a hard
Adnan Syed, a senior in Woodlawn High School, was convicted and charged with the first-degree murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee in 1999. Not only is Adnan’s alibi inconclusive, but he also fails to recall any specific details or occurrences of January 13th-the date Hae Min Lee disappeared. His acquaintance, Jay Wilds, has served as the State’s key witness. Despite having already served seventeen years in prison, Adnan did not murder Hae Min Lee. His innocence simply has not been captured due to missing perspectives, inconsistencies in Jay’s story, and biases in the law enforcement.
