Have you ever been in trouble for something you have never done? In early 2000 in the series “Serial Killer” Adnan Syed was sadly unrightfully convicted of murdering Hae Min Lee. The rule of the Jury was that they can’t be biased based on 1 info presented and must see all the info before convicting. The one thing could have saved him was the alibi of other people who said they saw him during the time of Lee’s murder at the time. Thought there wasn’t any evidence to point towards Adnan executing the murder except for the alibi of Jay and a few other and the joy ride. Adnan was innocent of committing the murder of Lee and wasn’t given a fair trial. There was evidence that would be enough to convict him ,but there were missing info needed that would’ve helped Adnan in his trail. Jay Wilds alibi establish that Hae was murdered at Best Buy with Adnan strangling and then inserting Hae that had her dead body. He said given Adnan phone and car to he called him to pick him up at best buy and when he got there Adnan ask for help trying to hide the body. They went on a joy ride to different places and brought Adnan to practice for …show more content…
Each of the alibi from Jay and Adnan were different ,except that he and Jay went to different places after Adnan track practice, but what was most shocking was during the time school end to 3:04 the time Jay said Adnan called him. It was impossible to do the exact thing as the day went because that was the day the bus left because the left way later than it was needed about 15 mins. The next logical place was the library where Adnan said he was but it was packed that day so it would be extremely difficult to kill someone at the library or the best buy. If people say he was at the Library it would’ve shut out Jay’s alibi and he couldn't change how he said Adnan Syed murder
He was falsely convicted of the murder of his girlfriend Hae Min Lee. Hae was strangled to death, and found in a park. The only evidence against adnan is a testimony by a man named jay. There is no other actually evidence tying adnan to the case. The case is full of allegations and theories.
Jay’s story shifts from statement to statement, and from trial to trial. It’s not the calm recollection of an involved party, but the remorseless web of lies from a guilty man. For example, at first Jay says he didn’t help Adnan bury Hae, then he says that he did. In his first statement Jay tells police that Adnan only
Jay knew things that he wasn’t telling the cops or he was simply hiding something. Wouldn’t it be better to just tell the truth rather than make up a whole bunch of different stories? Some might think that Adnan was the cause of Hae Min Lee’s death because he was her ex-boyfriend and he had a motive to kill her. However, the night Hae went missing Adnan still tried to make sure she was ok and hung out with people that kept trying to check up on her. For example, in Serial it says “Adnan called her house 3 times to check to see if she was okay because she didn’t pick up her cousin that day”.
However Jay is as much of a suspect as Adnan. Jay has lied multiple times and changes his story everytime he speaks to the police. For example, “They weren't super close, but they had mutual friends. Jay sold weed, and he and Adnan smoked together. The story Jay told police had problems, because it kept changing from telling to telling” (“The Alibi”).
Jay Wild’s is a former classmate of Adnan he is the first one in which pointed fingers towards Adnan. Sarah is arguing Adnan case in court in a hope for a fair trial. After hearing serial for twelve episodes hearing different perspectives they have made me think he is guilty even more after they have seen the case again and he was still proven to be guilty. Adnan has had variety reasons to make him seem guilty but the Nisha call, Adnan poor memory in recalling what happened and the Leakin Park cell towers was the most important
In fact, in interviews with police Jay’s’ statements changed. First he claimed that that Adnan picked him up from his house and they went to Westview Mall. However in the second interview, he said they went to Security Square Mall. (Bondar) Also the autopsy report even brings into question Jay’s testimony that Adnan showed him the body in the trunk and then he helped him bury the body.
Angel Andujar January 15, 2016 Honors English 4 Argumentative Essay The State of Maryland vs. Adnan Syed The case of the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee an 18 year old student at Woodlawn High School in Baltimore, Maryland. She was last seen about 3 p.m. on January 13, 1999. Hae Lee 's ex boyfriend, Adnan Syed was arrested on February 28 at 6 am.
The real reason all eyes were on Adnan was due to Jay’s testimony. However, there were plenty of inconsistencies that were, in my opinion, too easily forgotten. At first, he says he helped bury the body, then during the second interview he had nothing to do with that. Who knows what his actual role in the murder was and whether he was framing Adnan. He did after all give the police the motive for the 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.
Hae Lee’s death is shattering, but Adnan shouldn’t have been convicted of the crime because he is not guilty. Although it’s feasible that Adnan might have had the definite intention to slaughter Hae Lee because of the provided psychological facts included in the podcast, “Serial,” in which
An evidence that makes Adnan guilty is when the State “contended that Hae was killed between 2:15 and 2:36 parking lot, about a mile from Woodlawn High School” (Chen 16). Basically, Adnan and Hae were together during that time frame where Adnan strangled her at the Best Buy parking lot. Adnan told Jay to come pick him up afterwards. This aligns perfectly with Jay’s story because he told the detectives that Adnan had killed Hae at the Best Buy parking lot. Thus, making Adnan the prime suspect since he was last seen with Hae.
Although Jay claims to be Adnan’s friend, he was the first person to blame Adnan. Then, he gives several statements to the police, but they continuously change. One difference is, in the beginning, he called himself “the criminal aspect of Woodlawn”, but later he claims that he “only got arrested once” (Koenig, “Inconsistencies”). It’s understandable that he would want to remove his first statement because it makes him look more like a suspect. Next, comes his lie about both of the boys getting high.
Some people have concluded that Adnan Syed is guilty due to his poor memory and inability to provide evidence for his alibi during his testimony. The prosecution's case against Adnan Syed was primarily based on the testimony of Jay, a friend of Adnan who claimed that he helped him bury Hae Min Lee's body. However, Jay's testimony was inconsistent and changed several times throughout the investigation and trial. One of the most significant pieces of evidence that supports Adnan's innocence is the alibi witness, Asia McClain. In the discussion with Sarah Koenig and Rabia, a lawyer , Rabia explains what Adnan said to the audience, "He's like, the only thing I could offer is I remember there's a girl I go to school with.
Have you ever been accused of a mistake you never made? Would you feel frustrated? Well imagine how Adnan Syed felt when he was convicted, and possibly framed, for the murder of Hae Lee in 1995. Sarah Koenig, the author of the podcast, had a purpose to show us that there are real systemic flaws in our justice system, and was successful in doing so. She proved this by showing that the judge became disbarred shortly after finishing the case with Adnan, evidence was forgotten about in court, and there were possible suspects and witnesses ignored.
There may be many missing details from the trial itself. Serial is built to be entertaining. People in the jury must have had their reasons on why they think Adnan is guilty. After all, twelve people took a measly two hours to decide that Adnan was
