Evidence In This Casey Innocent Or Is Jay Guilty

The sudden and violent murder of Hae Min Lee was concluded by the state that Adnan was guilty; however, it's entirely possible that the state’s evidence was not credible, and Hae’s murderer still runs free. In the popular podcast “Serial” by Sarah Koenig, the state concluded and ended the case, sending Adnan’s teenage life away. Although the evidence the state provided may be convincing, The evidence that wasn’t presented leaves the case in shambles, and puts someone else to blame. To begin with, the state's main witness, Jay, who claimed to have helped Adnan bury Hae's body, provided inconsistent statements and changed his story multiple times. Additionally, the prosecution relied heavily on cellphone tower data to place Adnan at the crime scene.

Jay testified he helped Adnan bury Hae’s body in 1999. “Jays first interview with detectives. He tells them Adnan

I wasn’t fully cooperating, so if they said, ‘Well, we have on phone records that you talked to Jenn.’ I’d say, ‘Nope, I didn’t talk to Jenn.’ Until Jenn told me that she talked with the cops and that it was ok if I did

Adnan syed's original conviction in 2000 was based on cell phone records which purported to place

Adnan Masud Syed, 19, was convicted of murder that sentenced him in prison for life on June 20, 2000. Mr. Syed was accused of strangling his ex girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, 18, and burying her body in Leakin Park on January 13th, 1999. The body was eventually uncovered and Adnan became the primary suspect after an anonymous call was made to the police a few weeks after the crime to investigate Adnan. The prosecutors had stated that Adnan’s motive of murdering Hae was because he was hurt and outraged when they broke up. To counter, the defense attorney had claimed that Adnan was an average American teen, incapable of murder, and he was an honors student at Woodlawn High School.

More than 3 people said that they saw both of these people around 3. Although Jay was able to show the police where Hae’s body and car were on that day, he is unable to show the police where the body was buried. This is weird because Jay claims he was with Adnan when they drove to Leakin Park and buried the body on the side of the road. Surely, one cannot forget where they buried the body of a girl they just killed. With the changes in the stories and the different statements from the people around the town, the idea that Adnan killed Hae doesn’t add up.

HOOK. The podcast Serial is narrated by Sarah Koenig and is a story about a boy named Adnan who was trialed and deemed guilty to have murdered his ex-girlfriend Hae back in January 13th, 1999. He was accused to have choked Hae to death, but there was no trace of physical evidence left behind. The main things Adnan was held guilty for was motive and Jay’s statement of Adnan killing Hae and asking him to help bury her. Jay was only an acquaintance of Adnan.

Why would Jay need to keep changing his story if he did not commit the murder. Another coincidence was that jay knew where the car was located and he described the dead body in so much detail (“The Alibi’). There is no way if you glanced at a dead body you would remember so much detail. Also, he would not have known where the car was if he had no part in the murder. Along with the evidence I listed and other inconsistent evidence not adding up, prove Adnan is just as innocent as

According to these records, Adnan received two calls which placed him in Leakin Park. The prosecution used this evidence to place Adnan by the body and further incriminate him in the eyes of the court. However, what the defence failed to point out was the fact that due to a glitch within the AT&T system, incoming calls pinged the tower near the person making the call rather than the receiver. Those incoming calls should not have been considered as credible evidence because they falsely placed Adnan near the burial site. This false evidence presented during the original trial was misleading to the court, and as such, provides grounds for an

Jay had given false information and should be considered a suspect. He

Jay's story was did not really line up with all of the cell phone calls besides this one which is the biggest call of the case. And like one of the defence attorneys said you would have to have the worst luck in the world for all of this to happen in the span of a couple hours. It started with him lending jay his car and some people may not think this is that big but jays reasoning is saying that the reason jay had his car so adnan could get into haes car to murder

These two reasons are all that a person should need to believe that Adnan didn't have enough motive, or time, to kill Hae. Jays testimony sets the timeline and proves there is enough evidence, which is not presented by Adnan’s lawyer, to say Adnan is innocent by a straying story. The time period where Hae could've been killed does not match Adnan’s timeline. Jay, who is a convicted felon, was the only witness and is trusted to give a good story. Cristina Gutierrez, who was Adnan’s lawyer, had medical issues that distracted her from using useful information in his case.

Serial is a Podcast that investigates a true-life story over a series of twelve episodes. The Podcast takes a look at the fifteen year old murder case of Hae Min Lee. Adnan Syed, Hae’s ex-boyfriend was the main suspect and later found guilty of murder for Hae Min Lee’s death and sentenced to life in prison. Serial is hosted by Sarah Koenig an American journalist, public radio personality, and one of the producers of the radio program “This American Life”. The Serial Podcast uses rhetorical devices to appeal to its primary audience by using ethos to establish credibility, pathos to create an emotional response within the audience, and logos to support and poke holes in the murder case.

However, the beginning ends with detectives interviewing Jay, an acquaintance of Adnan, who claims that Adnan repeatedly spoke about murdering Hae, and called him when he had supposedly

She states “A year after Adnan was arrested and the case came to trial, Jay walked up to the witness stand. There’s a moment when Adnan muttered something to him” (45). By Adnan calling Jay pathetic he showed that he couldn’t believe Jay would rat him out. This incident shows that Adnan is a liar and is mad at Jay for going to the police, showing that he is guilty. Even after controlling himself through the whole case he snapped when he saw the man that betrayed him.
