What the State came up with is that Adnan had killed Hae sometime between 2:15 p.m. and 2:36 p.m. after school that same day. This gave Adnan a 21 minute time frame to leave school, kill Hae, and meet Jay back at Best Buy with traffic. This seems like an almost impossible trip due to how quick the murder was supposedly committed. Multiple people including Adnan have stated that Hae usually leaves school right away because she has to give her little cousin a ride home everyday, that is why when Hae didn't get her cousin on the day of her murder they called the police. Finally is while in Hae’s car if he had to drive it with the dead body in the trunk they would have found a fingerprint frenzy all over the steering wheel and trunk hood!
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
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.
The State of Maryland has charged Adnan with Hae’s murder solely using Jay’s alibi as their premise; they overlooked the alibis of former Woodlawn High School students who knew of Adnan, Hae, or Jay. Asia McClain, a
Adnan is probably innocent because the only solid evidence is Jay’s inconsistent testimony. The first evidence is the police audio when the first audio played jay mentions that he Adnan were at on the mall and the other audio mentions that they were at a different mall. And the second evidence is the court tapes when Adnan lawyer is questioning jay and changes his answers at the moment when jay was at the stage. And last evidence is Jay’s lack of memory because hard to believe that he forgot the day/night that he saw a dead body for the first time (Hae Min Lee’ Body)
“As for physical evidence, there was none--nothing. Apart from some fingerprints in Hae’s car, which Adnan had been in many times, there was nothing linking him to the crime-- DNA, no fibers, no hair, no matching soil from the bottom of his boots,” by Sarah Koenig. Sarah Koenig is saying that Adnan had no real strong evidence to support that he committed the murder. The next piece of evidence addresses his whereabouts by a witness.
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
Jay said that Adnan caught a ride with Hae and that when he killed her. How could he have done that if there was no evidence in Hae’s car? Sarah mentioned this fact in the podcast, “Apart from some fingerprints in Hae's car, which Adnan had been in many times, there was nothing linking him to the crime-- no DNA, no fibers, no hairs, no matching soil from the bottom of his boots.” (Episode 1, Page 6). If there was no DNA evidence of Adnan being in Hae’s car, then how did he kill her? She mentioned that he has been in the car multiple of times and there were multiple fingerprints but there was no way to tell if a fingerprint was six weeks ago or six months ago. However, hecould have covered up his tracks, especially with 6 weeks to spare and gloves. What he mentioned about his questioning with police officers was, “..at some point he did mention some red gloves. “We’re gonna find the red gloves,” or something” (Episode 9, Page 135). He could have covered his fingerprints with gloves. In 1999, the most common and easiest way of detecting DNA is by using body fluids, saliva, blood, etc. The technology back then was not as advanced as it is now. There is a small chance that he would have left any bodily fluids in Hae’s car. Adnan could have easily covered his tracks to make it seem like he is innocent, especially with gloves that would cover his
The world we live in today is not the same as it was in 1999 when a high school teenage girl disappeared on January 13th, 1999 in Baltimore County. Hae was supposed to pick up her little cousin from kindergarten on the day she went missing but never showed up. This raised suspicion because she was known to be very responsible. Hae-Min Lee’s body was found six weeks later on February 9th in a park not too far from Woodlawn High School where she attended. Hae's ex-boyfriend Adnan Syed became the prime suspect in her murder and has been in prison ever since. Sarah Koenig re-investigates the trial upon Adnan's friend's request Rabia who strongly believes Adnan is innocent. The State does not have enough evidence to prove Adnan was guilty because
First and foremost, The state's prosecution stated that Adnan's motive for killing Hae was their break up. He was heartbroken
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
From the evidence presented in the podcast and by the witnesses who claim to have seen Adnan Syed who can come to the conclusion that these alibis are not valid because of inconsistencies and errors in the case. When it comes to Adnan’s supposed alibi at the library, there are several errors that invalidate Adnan’s possible alibi. Asia Mcclain claims that “she specifically remembers me being at the library, at the public library, right after school.” (Koenig 1) But the problem with that is later after she had written the affidavit for the trial, Asia invalidated her original statement. “Asia had called one of the prosecutors in Adnan's case, a guy named Kevin Urick, and undermined her own statement.” (Koenig 1) According to Kevin Urick, “She was concerned, because she was being asked questions about an affidavit she'd
Everybody has made a mistake, whether it be picking the wrong friend, or having a crush on someone who was rude. In the short stories “The Utterly Perfect Murder”, “The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant”, and “Marigolds” all of the main characters were misled by their own thoughts or awareness of the situation at hand. After discovering they had chosen the wrong path, the characters associated this lesson with living out their future. When growing up, the most important thing is to learn from your mistakes.
“The newspaper is here on the driveway,” said Karman, my sister. She loves reading the newspaper. She is a nerd. She always gets 100% on every test, she detests sports, and she has huge glasses. There’s one thing that we both don’t like: going with Mom everywhere. There is no one to babysit us when she has a case to solve, so we have always to go with her. When we go with her, we are expected to finish all of our homework and then report to school the next day. It’s such a drag.
