Sarah Koenig's Case Study

Adnan Syed, senior at Woodlawn High School, was accused of the murder of his ex girlfriend Hae Min Lee and has been locked up for about 16 years now. Picture this, it’s the beginning of second semester, Adnan’s senior year, and his girlfriend has gone missing a month after their breakup. Who’s to blame? The only reasonable suspect would be the “jealous” Muslim ex boyfriend that was upset about her new boyfriend, or perhaps just simply wanted revenge on her for breaking up with him, or was just a psychopath all along. Having jealousy, wanting revenge, being a psychopath or just having extremely bad luck, whatever it was, caused him to get put behind bars for a crime that he is not guilty of.

Serial murders are not just part of the United States they also happen globally. There are many investigative tools that are used when working a serial murder case and we will discuss some of those. We will also discuss the problems with the media when it comes to serial murders. We will also talk about how the criticism of the public and media can affect serial murder cases.

In the Podcast, Serial, Jay Wilds is a main character whose alibi and story from episode one to four. The reporter, Sarah Koenig, maps the whole case out for us. Jay has given a minimum of seven different stories about what happened on January thirteenth. Four police interviews, two trial testimonies, and most recently, an interview he gave to the Intercept.

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.

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 is accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend, and various factors present him as a very likely suspect. Information put together by the state don’t add up, but instead prove he is innocent. Is Adnan guilty or innocent for his ex-girlfriend’s death? In the Serial Podcast, journalist Sarah Koenig discusses the case, committed almost seventeen years ago, and uncovers new evidence that indicates Adnan’s innocence. Adnan Syed has been viewed as a boyfriend, honor roll student, and a murderer. Many described him as a smart, flirtatious, and a likable high schooler. On January 13, 1999, his ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, was murdered. Investigators immediately assumed Adnan as the primary suspect because Hae had broken up with him, a month

To begin, theres’s been many cases of teenagers who have brutally murdered innocent people. A sixteen year old male who named Josiah Ivy murdered a pregnant lady and her husband. Jennifer Jenkins states in her article “On Punishment and Teen Killers” that “He got a rush out of breaking the law…” (49). The families’ of these victims are often not able to recover from their losses and must be made the top priority of the courts; they deserve justice.

Two questions- Wasn't sure if our people could work for other districts? If so, I have provided this training before but Pat and I are in curriculum mapping so I was thinking of checking with Gwen Stenzel (since she trained all of us) or Allison and Melissa. We also have several other teachers who have provided this workshop; Melissa Guidry, Danielle Clause, Jolie Songy, Wendi Kessling, Misti Cunningham (I could go on and on). Any suggestions?

For the last year, everyone's been watching the same show, I'm not talking about "Game of Thrones," but a horrifying, real-life drama that's proved too captivating to turn off. It's a show shaped by murderers and shared around the world via the Internet. Their names have become familiar: James Foley, David Haines, Alan Henning, Peter Kassig, Kenji Goto Jogo.

Sarah’s life consisted of moving through a succession of jobs and relocating to different mills in Rhode Island and Connecticut. Frequently relocating from place to place, Sarah experienced this new shock of the social world as young women did not have in loco parentis, resulting in a lack of mentorship and guidance for young women such as Sarah. With no real direction, Sarah often got into trouble with theft charges and misconduct, and was a young woman frequently in need of redemption. Sarah, from a young age, was suspected of engaging in sexual relationships with men, which undermined her reputation in society. Both the Methodist Church and the mill owners were highly opposed to inappropriate behavior, as mill girls were required to maintain

Travel provides for a greater examination of not only the culture of the place you visit but also of your self. Travel offers many different aspects that one would not necessarily find staying in a well known place. This could include trying new foods, learning about cultures, experiencing traditional music and dance, and countless others as well. Visiting other places encourages people to educate and learn more about it themselves. Also experiencing different cultures can lead to a stronger knowledge and a desiring of visiting more.

We believe that the world’s most notorious and ruthless killers are locked away in a jail cell, away from society and possibly never having the chance to see sunlight again. Yet, what we do not know is that it is very possible that we could be sitting in a room with a future killer. When we hear the words “serial killer” or “murderer,” we most often see pictures of the famous killers or the ones actors portray on tv, but one of the biggest things we do not see are pictures of children. The biggest twist of all though is according to the Justice Department, it estimates “about 10 percent of all homicides are committed by juveniles under the age of 18.” Many juveniles are being tried as adults and possibly being locked up because of the crimes that they do, depending on how bad the crime is and the juvenile’s criminal history. Most children do not really know what they did or why they did but that does not excuse the fact that they took another person’s life, regardless of what was actually going on during the time. Kids who do adult crimes should be put away from society for protection against themselves and others.

to a once in a lifetime opportunity that could be a great boost to his career as a lawyer and that obviously involves him to use his lying capabilities as a defense attorney for a client involved in a major divorce case. Even though his client, Samantha Cole, has a severe case of greed for money and is seemingly self-centered, as well as unfit to take care of her children as a mother, Fletcher stood firm on doing what he does best and that was to lie in court for Samantha so she could win the case against the other party
