Koenig's Defense Lawyer Case

Imagine being wrongfully charged for a murder and sentenced to life in prison without being able to talk at all during the trial. Adnan Syed, a normal high school student who was charged with the murder of his ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee who goes missing on January 13th, 1999 in Baltimore County, Maryland. In the SERIAL podcast, Sarah Koenig (narrator) talks about the alibi, witnesses, interviews, evidence and every detail that exists of the case. Even though state’s prosecution proved Syed guilty, looking at the case after more than 17 years, Syed can still be proven innocent.

There is a great amount about this story that I discovered irritating, yet maybe that was the intent. Far from being champions of equity these attorneys appear to have exceptionally childish inspirations. At that point in the wake of trying to make an arrangement with the police the legal advisor consented to meet with the father of one of the killed young ladies. He recognized what the father would ask and he knew he would not have the capacity to give the data in front of the meeting. Rather he instructed them to bring it up with the police. His inspiration for meeting with the father, a long way from giving any conclusion or solace, was just too egotistically pick up the influence for his arrangement. Telling the father that the police held

Instead of looking at Jay as a suspect the police didn’t want to use Jay to be a suspect because he was building a strong case against Adnan. Adnan’s Attorney tried to make Jay a suspect but it didn’t work because he looked like a credible witness. Jay's testimony was the only thing the cops had. They were so glad to have a good witness that the prosecutor Mr. Urick provided Jay with a

What would you do if you were Adnan Syed, who got convicted of a murder he didn’t do and got an unfair trial? The story of serial narrated by Sarah Koenig is about a 17-year old teen, that got accused of murder and didn’t get a fair trial, and now Sarah Koenig is trying to crack this case, even though she’s not a professional at it . Jay Wilds is a key witness that says he was a part of the murder because he says he helped bury the body of Hae Min Lee, but didn’t get jail time . This story is interesting because when you start listening to the podcast it gets you into it, in other words you can visualize it and it doesn't get you bored, it makes you want to listen to it more . I believe that Adnan Syed is not guilty of the murder of Hae Min

On January 13th, 1999, a teenage girl named Hae Min Lee was reported missing in Baltimore, Maryland. Nearly a month later, her ex-boyfriend, 17-year-old Adnan Syed was charged with her murder and sentenced to life in prison. The case was put to rest. However; uncertainty still surrounds this case. The one question that still needs to be answered is; did Adnan Syed really kill Hae Min Lee? The “Serial” podcast, hosted by Sarah Koenig attempts to answer this question. The in-depth analysis that the Serial podcast provides draws attention to the numerous flaws that the State’s case consists of. The lack of forensic reports, the alibi provided by Asia McLean and the inconsistencies of Jay’s testimonies all point to one, logical answer to

Upon further investigation, the reliability of evidence used in the first case, such as cell phones and Jay Wild’s testimony, is questionable. In the case of Wild’s testimony, it is a known fact that he repeatedly lied about Adnan’s and his own involvement in Lee’s murder (Koenig, 2014). At the trial, Jay testified that he first saw Hae’s body in the back of her car at Best Buy and that Adnan showed signs of an intention to kill Lee. In his interview, he claimed to have seen the body at his grandmother’s house and that Adnan did not show any intent to kill Hae (Chaudry, 2014). Jay’s testimony should not have had the credibility to convince a jury of Adnan’s guilt beyond reasonable doubt. Additionally, Adnan’s case lacked effective and thorough investigation. Police, prosecutors, and the defense failed to investigate a number of important potential pieces of evidence: Jay and Jenn’s call records, students who saw Adnan at school during the time of the murder, DNA testing, and failing to interview individuals who were a part of the state’s testimony (Chaudry, 2014). The Serial podcast revealed facts that contradict the state’s case. Witnesses said that they saw Hae Lee at school at the supposed time of her murder and the murder time frame is not realistic given Adnan’s circumstances. The team behind the Serial podcast attempted to recreate the time frame of Hae’s murder by

Severance works somewhat differently in federal criminal trials because this case involves the indictment of more than one defendant Jones, Walsh and Bert. In Bert 's situation, his defense attorney will provide an argument that a joint trail might be unfair against Bert or reaching a decision on the rape charges against him. The Severance is not automatic because the Federal rule 14 allows judges broad discretion in deciding whether to grant a severance to Bert. To be successful, Bert’s defense will to fill a motion for his severance which must show the concerns for Bert 's right to a fair trial outweigh the goals of the joinder. One of the most successful grounds for seeking severance for Bert arises when Bert wishes not to testify on all, some or any of the charges in the trail but chooses to claim his Fifth Amendment privilege on one or more charges. The separating by court order, such as separate trials for Bert, Jones, and Walsh who are charged with the same crime, or trying the negligence aspect of the rape charge or any other charge before the trail. Such division of issues in the trail is sometimes called "bifurcation." ("Burton 's Legal Thesaurus," 4E. (2007).

The article discuss how someone by the name of Johnnie O'neal was tending to his own business when he was charged with rape and robbery. A 21 year old woman was robbed and raped at knifepoint. When she told the story, O'Neal was identified as the suspect. He was convicted and his sentence was ten to twenty years in prison. O'Neal states, “I didn't see any hope for me” (O'Neal). He didn't see himself trying to get his name cleared on his own. Once the lawyers from the Legal Aid Society re-investigated O'neal's case, they realized that something was not right. They saw that the story did not match up, so O'Neal name was able to be cleared.

On page 16, the state investigator repeats information about Ray Kelly. The jail trustee has too much dialogue (example page 32 & 44).

He decides to frame himself for a murder in order to be placed on the District Attorney’s docket of cases. Even though the journalist records every step he takes to frame himself and all of the evidence is circumstantial, the District Attorney finds last minute DNA evidence that proves that the journalist committed the crime. Once this is found, the journalist has his girlfriend, the Assistant District Attorney, prove his innocence and that the evidence from most of the past cases is also manufactured giving the District Attorney a perfect cases record since he is running for Governor.2 In the United States, there is a
