Serial Podcast: A Case Against Adnan Syed

Jay had several inconsistencies, some are major, and some, perhaps minor. The ones that stands out the most are appalling, such as the fact that he openingly stated to police and jury that he will lie avoiding criminal punishment. In one occasion with the police, he said Adnan “knows I sold drugs… he could get me locked up for that.” In further interviews, there are times when he would say Adnan asked him one day ago, same day, and even four to five days ago to help assist him in such murder. When asked where Adnan killed Hae, there were several different responses, including Best Buy, Woodlawn Public Library, and Patapsco State Park, which haven’t been brought up since.

Even with Jay’s testimony, I don't believe that Adnan Syed should have been convicted of murder on such little evidence. The state’s motive for Adnan is based on Muslim stereotypes and no real evidence. They say that when Hae broke up with Adnan she besmirched his honor, forcing him to have to kill her to regain it. Adnan has shown many times that he doesn’t follow strict Muslim rules by dating multiple girls, partying, and even smoking marijuana.

Jon explains, “Adnan and Jay were just casual acquaintances” (Koenig “Inconsistencies”). Why would Adnan put his trust in someone who is just an acquaintance? Especially if it involves a murder. Jay was also one to switch up his story a lot when interviewed. First, he says that him and Adnan went to one specific mall together and then when asked again, he says they went to a whole different mall.

This is important because if Adnan was very late to track practice, then his teammates would have noticed and remembered that day, so why is Jay telling a story to make Adnan look even worse? Therefore, if Adnan’s case was filled with many lies, who could have been telling the actual truth about Adnan? What seems to be true is everything that proves he’s innocent because it seems to make more sense in the

Body paragraph 1 will explain the cell records ( ep.4), body paragraph 2 will explain the Nisha call (ep.6), body paragraph 3 will explain Jay corroboration (ep.5), and the rest of the evidence will provide more on Adnan Syed being guilty. In addition the first piece of evidence will provide a witness who mentions perfectly Adnan.

Carson Butler Dayhoff English 3 2-7-17 Serial Paper As indicated by reports and measurements from the National Youth Violence Prevention Resource Center, around one in nine homicides were conferred by a young less than 18 years old in 1999; Hae Min Lee was one of the incalculable casualties of this kind of murder on January 13, 1999. Adnan Syed was indicted this murder by the condition of Maryland in February of 2000. The principle onlooker in his trial was Jay, who the state bases their case off of in light of his credible narrating including the murder.

In season one episode six of the Serial podcast titled “The Case Against Adnan Syed”, there are many inconsistencies and false memories as the story is unfolding through the interviews made by the police and Koenig. During interviews, the majority of the answers received from witnesses did not add up or make sense. Also, individuals involved with the case claim they either did not recall what transpired or said something completely different from their previous statement. The above statement proves that the human memory is imperfect and cannot be reliable.

The defendant had once challenged Sarah Koenig, the creator and narrator of the podcast “Serial” to test the timeline of our case claiming that timeline can’t possibly fit the events mentioned in the given time frame. So, Ms.Koenig along with the podcast producer Dana Chivvis test the idea by setting up a mock scenario as the state had claimed. After going through the test, the two had concluded that the time frame provided made it possible for Mr.Syed to kill Ms.Lee(Ep.5). This evidence is definitely reliable since the narrator and producer are creating the podcast, and have been investigating both sides of the murder. The scenario confirms that the defendant could have killed Ms.Lee in the amount of time our case claims.

Adnan is Innocent Do you remember what you did on this day, exactly one week ago? You might remember some things about that day, or you might remember nothing. How about if I asked what you did 6 weeks ago on this day? Could you tell me?

I think that there is a lot more evidence that shows that Adnan is guilty, but one of the ones that I think is one of the most important is Jay's

But when Hae was murdered, Jay didn’t have the video store job, making this piece of information not useful in trial. These abnormalities weren’t unknown when he was tried, the detectives handling the case excused pieces of evidence that made Adnan look innocent to win a case, putting an innocent teenager in prison for

When the cops first bring Jay in on February 28th, they talked to him for about an hour before the tape went on. Then, on March 15th, the second interview. Jay signs his initials to an official explanation of rights form at 3:15 p.m. Then the tape starts.” She brings evidence to discredit Jay and the detectives in the 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

It seems to me that Jay slightly changes his story every time. I don’t know why Jay would agree to help Adnan with Hae 's body. Jay is hiding something, no normal person would help someone with a dead body. Jay seems very sketchy, he admits to the police that he has lied on many accounts on his statements. He claimed at one point that he let Adnan use his shovels, why would you let someone that you are barely friends with use your shovels to bury a body?

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.
