In the past, have you ever been accused of something you never did and gotten in trouble for it? For example the old saying “whoever smelt it dealt it” or when one of your siblings does something but blames it on you so that you get in trouble and they don’t. Well this is what happened with Adnan Syed. Adnan was accused of murdering his ex girlfriend Hae Min Lee on January 13, 1999. I think that Adnan is innocent of all these accusations made against him and someone pinned the murder on him so they can get away with the crime that they committed. I believe that the case should be reopened and there should be a retrial to prove Adnan’s innocence so that he gets the justice that he deserves. Adnan Masud Syed is American with Pakistani heritage. …show more content…
There were several pieces of evidence that were not tested which brings up question if they could have helped solve the case. When Officer Ritz is interrogating Mr. S he mentions testing cans and bottles from the crime scene. Sarah states, “He’s bluffing here they never do test.” This quote shows the lack of physical DNA evidence to prove Adnan’s guilt. This is important because the tests could have answered the question we’ve all been dying to know, who killed Hae Min Lee? Looking at another person’s perspective of the case, Katie Clifford, in her view, “In our files, we have a lot of things, evidence they collected that got sent off and we don’t have reports for everything and we are curious about the results that we don’t have and whether or not those exist and just why they’re not in the files that we have.” Katie Clifford is one of Deirdre Enright’s students, Adnan’s former lawyer. Moreover, since we are considering possible suspects we should talk about how Adnan became the star suspect of this …show more content…
The question is, is it possible for Adnan to leave school, go on a drive with Jay to go smoke, and still make it in time for track practice? In Sarah’s opinion, “It is virtually impossible if you consider the following facts, which he then listed.” This is provides an alibi for Adnan which is important because he needs all the help that he can get. This means that Adnan isn’t where Jay says he was making Jay unreliable and this doesn’t give Adnan enough time to complete all the things that Jay claimed Adnan did within the state’s time frame of the 21 minutes between 2:15 and 2:36. “All in twenty-one minutes. I am one-hundred percent sure that if someone tried to do it, it would be impossible.” This means that when Sarah tried to get a better understanding herself of went on within those 21 minutes she did not believe it to be possible for Adnan to do all the tasks within the amount of time given. Providing all the evidence that proves Adnan’s innocence and showing counter arguments as to why the state’s evidence against Adnan is unethical and insubstantial. This brings to question, how did Christina Gutierrez, Adnan’s former lawyer blow it? Well there is a saying that goes, “the best offense is a good defense,” so theoretically maybe Christina Gutierrez did not do her best ability to win the
4 months after his death he was found not guilty. I don’t want this to happen to Adnan, but if this trial goes through and he’s found guilty it will. I am going to do EVERYTHING in my power to make sure that Adnan is let off the hook so we can find who it really
However, Serial has shed light upon numerous loopholes in the State’s case, making the jury’s decision questionable. Adnan Syed is not guilty
Imagine being interrogated about a mundane and orthodox day, one month ago, that you have little recollection of; this was the case with Adnan. Unable to provide sufficient evidence, and with the aid of Jay’s claim to being a witness of the murder, Adnan was arrested shortly
Adnan Syed is speciously guilty of first degree murder of Hae Min Lee. Syed claims to have no recollection of the events that occurred on January 13, 1999 which, in some cases could be a way to further prove one’s innocence, but it also means Syed has no solid alibi to contradict Jay Wilds narrative of what exactly happened that day. If a person does not have an alibi verified with witnesses to counteract another person’s story claiming you murdered another person on a particular day, they are probably guilty of committing that crime. However, Syed was asked to account for a day that happened 6 weeks prior to questioning, it’s not irregular that he cannot remember specific details especially if it was just a regular old day for him. To start
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
Everything seems to fall into place when the prime suspect of a murder is the ex-boyfriend, but how can he be charged when evidence proves otherwise. On January 13th, 1999 Hae Min Lee was found murdered and buried in a forest, Leakin Park. Hae could have been murdered by many people, but the jury settled on the killer being Hae’s ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed. Adnan Syed should not have been found guilty under the circumstances of, the motive, unreliable cell phone tower evidence, Asia Mcclain evidence, life after the break up, and Jay’s inconsistencies; therefore he was wrongfully convicted and is innocent. The young couple seemed perfect from the beginning, and no one could ever find a flaw; the reasoning for this murder does not show anything
This first trial was actually going well for Adnan; the jurors said they were on the way to acquitting him. So had this trial played out, Adnan might be a free man. However, the second trial did not end well. Cristina was still a good lawyer and worked hard to prove Adnan’s innocence, but her arguments weren’t very organized. “it wasn’t like a clear outline, like the prosecution had” (Koenig, “The Best
Piers Anthony once said, “When one person makes an accusation, check to be sure he himself is not the guilty one. Sometimes it is those whose case is weak who make the most clamor.” When someone is accused of a crime , there must be a sufficient amount of solid evidence to prove their guilt. In the podcast narrated by Sarah Koenig, Serial, goes over a murder case from over fifteen years ago. It is easily perceived that Adnan Syed was falsely incriminated for killing his ex girlfriend, Hae Min Lee.
Adnan Syed was convicted of murder more than 17 years ago and has faced denial of multiple appeals. However, finally he was granted a new trial after his murder conviction was thrown out. The case of Adnan became a worldwide obsession over a night since he was subject to a globally popular podcast Serial. On the other hand, on 26th February 1999 I became obsessed with this case when he was arrested that morning. Since his arrest, Adnan has maintained his innocence and my family and I believe in him.
’s lawyer- did not get all the information she needed, but still getting points that were imperative. Knowing Syed has never been violent and still isn’t, having an alibi at the library, and uncertain to Adnan Syed and his family why he was unfairly convicted. Still waiting for a new trial, will Adnan Syed be guilty or will he finally get his
What would you do if you were suddenly accused of murder? Not a happy thought right, but this is what a teenage boy by the name of Adnan Syed had to go through. This young man at the ripe age of seventeen got convicted of murder of his ex-girlfriend. I strongly believe that Adnan Syed is innocent and did not kill Hae Min Lee. There was a lot in this case that did not make sense or did not have enough evidence to have rightfully convicted this man.
If our judicial system still believes that someone is innocent until proven guilty, then Adnan has to be innocent, because they did not prove him
Everyone charged with a penal transgression has the right to be considered “innocent until proven guilty” according to the US Constitution. Did the prosecution use reasonable and accurate evidence to prove Adnan guilty in the murder case of Hae Min Lee? On January 13 in 1999, a Woodlawn high school senior, Hae Min Lee disappeared after school, and one month later on February 10 in 1999, her body was found buried in the Leakin Park in Baltimore, Maryland. Adnan Syed, her ex-boyfriend, was convicted of this murder by the state of Maryland after one year in February 25 in 2000. The eyewitness of this case was Jay Wilds, a former friend of Adnan, who testified against him and stated that Adnan told him he was going to kill Hae, Jay also reported
Therefore, the motive that the prosecution had presented is not at all accurate or even conceivable when looking at Adnan’s behavior after Hae and Adnan broke up. Instead, this shows that not only is the
Of course, many people think Adnan Syed is guilty of murdering Hae by contradicting himself, by saying, “I am in here for my own mistakes.” He might have been on the edge of confessing his guilt until Sarah caught this and asked what he meant, and quickly recovers from his mistake. Adnan also slips his tongue by saying that he wants people to only look at the evidence, and not his personality. If I were convicted of a crime I would certainly like to have my personality be looked at, if I were innocent. So they could see what good I have done.
