The Murder Case Of Hae Min Lee, Adnan Syed

Pusateri told the police about Wilds using that same phone to contact her and admitting that he had helped Syed bury Hae Min Lee’s body. Although Wilds denied involvement regarding Hae’s death at first, he eventually confessed to helping Syed bury her body and dispose of the car in which the body was carried. After days of anguish and intensive search, on February 9, Hae's body was found in Leakin Park, a rambling forest in Baltimore. Her body was found by a maintenance guy who said he'd stopped to urinate on his way to work and noticed black hair poking out of a shallow grave. The cause of her death was manual strangulation. Although Lee’s younger brother Saad who was Syed's best friend believed that he is innocent, on February 28, 1999, Syed was charged with first-degree murder and has been in prison ever since. In 2016, after more than 17 years of incarceration, and multiple denied appeals, Adnan Syed has finally been granted a new trial. Investigations have shown that Adnan might not be, after all, responsible for the death of Hae Min Lee, since it was proven that Jay Wilds’ testimony was unreliable and

The issue of religious bias and stereotype now obtain around the world, including America, which led to social differentiation, crimes and their ethnic identity. This phenomenon may bring an impact on court decision because of their bias toward the religion. Stereotype of religion have affected the defendant, which should not be used against the defendant because stereotype is an unfair belief. In the Serial podcast, the murder of Hae Min Lee has caused worldwide attention and discussion. A 17 years old teenage boy, Adnan Syed, has been convicted to the first degree murder. Adnan is born in a Muslim family from Pakistan, people assumed that Adnan must be a Muslim because of his parent 's faith. His Muslim identity has been repeated and emphasized in the podcast and trial, this factor may affect his court of decision due to the stereotype of Muslim. Religious profiling may have affected Adnan Syed 's trial in 1990 due to his religion and his Muslim character is being portrayed by religious stereotype which exposed the attitude towards Muslims in the United States.

Initially, Jay said he didn’t know anything. Only that Adnan Syed said he was going to kill his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee for breaking up with him. And so, first, he changed saying he did help bury her, but that’s about it. Some consistencies in Jays story was that Hae’s body was buried in Leakin Park, although the time for the burial doesn’t ever seem to match up any other time, he does

The criminal justice system is meant to protect the innocent, and punish those who are guilty of a crime. However, no system is perfect, and as a result, sometimes the innocent become victims of the system that was meant to protect them. How exactly do these innocent people become victims of the system? Sometimes the person gets framed, and the crime scene is staged to point a finger at them. Sometimes, there is no strong physical evidence against them, yet circumstantial evidence is used by the crown to put them away. This happened to a 17 year old boy named Adnan Syed in Baltimore, Maryland, who was imprisoned for life, for the alleged murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Lee. Throughout the Serial podcast, Sarah Koenig is able to critically analyze information which proves Adnan’s innocence. Firstly, Asia’s letters gave Adnan an alibi for the time of the murder. Secondly, Adnan’s innocence can be demonstrated through the lack of any strong evidence and the prosecution’s use of circumstantial evidence which can be disproved. Thirdly, Jay’s constantly changing testimony is not credible evidence of Adnan’s guilt, making him innocent.

In any sort of legal situation, telling the truth and only the truth is extremely important. However, for Jay Wilds, the main witness in the murder of Hae Lee, it seems that the truth was the only thing he refused to tell. For example, in Jay’s story, he tells of a very memorable “trunk pop” location. This is where Jay claims that Adnan opened the trunk of Hae’s car, showing off Hae “pretzeled up.” In one interview, Jay claimed he saw the body in front of his grandmother’s house. However, Jay said in a different interview that he saw the body in front of Best Buy. These two statements are hugely contradictory. Seeing a corpse of a friend must be an event permanently engraved in one’s mind. Yet, for some reason, Jay blatantly changed the location the trunk pop happened. That is a fairly large red flag in the case, being that Jay should remember where he was when he saw the corpse of a friend.

We believe that Jay is guilty. In the next five minutes we will prove to you that Adnan is in fact innocent and why Jay should be in jail. Adnan was close friends with Jay’s girlfriend Stephanie which is what we believe Jay’s motive was to murder Hae. The court convicted Adnan of the murder with the motive of being jealous of Hae’s new relationship. We argue that the motive of jealousy was what made Jay kill Hae Min Lee.

The Serial podcast, hosted by Sarah Koenig, is about the murder of young Woodlawn High School student Hae Min Lee. Hae was a smart, ambitious, and outgoing young lady taken from this world too soon. Sarah Koenig and the podcast takes us through the ins and outs of typical and unusual teenager behavior to try and uncover something unseen in this case. Adnan Syed, the now convicted murder, and Jay Wilds, the state’s only witness, are the key people of this story. I believe Adnan’s innocence should be maintained because Jay’s story should not have been used for evidence, there was not enough evidence to even arrest Adnan, and Adnan had a trustworthy alibi.

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.

The podcast Serial, hosted by Sarah Koenig, follows the riveting murder mystery of Hae Min Lee, a senior at Woodlawn High School who was admired by many. The prime suspect was her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, with whom she had broken up prior to her death. Throughout the series, Koenig analyzed court transcripts and investigated the prosecution’s evidence in order to determine whether or not Syed’s incarceration was justified. Due to the absence of firm evidence and the numerous inconsistencies in the state’s allegations, Adnan Syed is not guilty in the murder of his ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee.
