The state uses Jay as their key witness in the case against Adnan, but Jay's story changed where Adnan showed him Haes body. Jay says in one of his testimonies that Adnan showed him Haes body in the Best Buy parking lot, then he changes it in his testimony to “I went to pick him up from off of Edmondson Avenue at a strip and he, uh, popped the trunk open and…”(Serial 05.17). Jay was a friend of Adnan’s: they smoked weed and hung out together. The day of the murder according to Jay was that he picked up Adnan after he killed Hae and left her in the trunk of her car. This is where the two different places that he mentioned where Adnan showed Jay Hae’s body is the Best Buy parking lot and a strip off of Edmondson Avenue are important because these places aren’t similar either, one is a tech store and the other is an outdoor drug market. This change may seem small and insignificant but if you saw a dead body in the back of a trunk you would remember the spot that you saw something like that because it is a traumatic experience. In Jay's Testimony he says that he helped Adnan bury Haes body when the detective asked Jay “You helped him dig the hole.” and Jay said “Yes”(Serial 01.11). In Jenn’s story she talked to Jay and she asked Jay,“Did you help him? Do you know where the body is?” “No. I just took him to some place in …show more content…

Sarah Koenig spoke to some of Adnan’s friends and teachers about the breakup with Hae, and “nearly everyone I’ve spoke with, Adnan’s friends and teachers say he took the breakup like anyone would. Adnan’s friend Mac Francis said Adnan initially was devastated and jealous about the new boyfriend. Said he grumbled about it in a typical guy way, nothing strange. Everyone I talked to said some version of this, that he wasn’t rage filled or vindictive. He was just sad. “(Serial.02.10). Sarah Koenig is the author of the Serial podcast and almost everyone that Sarah Koenig talked to said that he was just sad and that he wasn’t ever filled with rage or vindictiveness to the point where he would go and murder her. Adnan was a good kid, he did well in school,he had a job, and he volunteered at the mosque, so the State's motive doesn't stand in the eyes of anyone that knew Adnan. Adnan wasn't heartbroken when Hae and him broke up and this is shown when Saad says that “it was still proof that he wasn't obsessed with Hae. He wasn't. I was like he's a p...I'm trying to conv-- explain I’m seventeen, like “He's a player! He has a lot of girls!” I was like, “he's talking to multiple--” I am too!”(Serial 02.11). Saad is Adnan’s best friend and he just further confirms that Adnan wasn't obsessed

The fact that he asked her for a ride after school, means it should put him together with Hae at around the time of her alleged death. Furthermore, the police investigation revealed that she had died at around 2:36, because there was a call made at that time where Adnan is said to have told Jay to come pick him up post-murder. Since this pins Adnan to Hae close to the time of her murder, it makes him a likely suspect and gives the police evidence to prove him guilty. Another detail that proves Adnan’s involvement with her murder is Jay’s own involvement with the crime. Jay was the one who confessed to the police that he helped Adnan hide Hae's

Many years have passed and if he had committed the murder there would be something indicating that. Adnan has maintained his innocence for many years, and it is weird how people do not see that he would confess by now if he had done it, but he hasn't, hee still maintains his

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”.

The police said they gathered enough evidence on Adnan to prove that he was the one who killed Hae. Evidence meaning they found Adnans prints in her car, using testimony, and since Adnan could not remember where he was at the exact moment of Hae's death. He said he might have been at track practice. Koening looks at the phone records, maps out the route that Jay says they made the night of Hae's death. The phone records were correct but still a

It just so happens to be a page that shows Leaking Park, which is where Hae was buried. Now that is weird. Another thing that was brought to my attention was how Hae was killed, through manual strangulation. Adnan was an EMT and knew how to strangle someone and had the training to know how to revive someone if he needed to. Could Adnan have been heartbroken over the breakup?

In his second interview it presents that Adnan didn’t say anything about killing Hae until the day of the murder. At this point, it is unclear as to whether this change in the story can truly confirm Adnan’s motive to kill Hae. This is a tough and slippery slope to go down because of Jay’s inconsistencies, so it’s going to take a little more than just moxie to figure this one out. Considering that everyone who was questioned wasn’t asked until five weeks after the murder, so there’s no telling what little details were forgotten or were lies to truly clarify Adnan’s motive if no straight answer was given. Yet, this detail alone was enough for the state to use against Adnan to confirm Adnan’s motive to kill Hae and his jealousy for the new

It was one of those big map books you buy at a gas station, police found it in the backseat of Hae’s car.yet many people think that since adnan and hae were going out for more that 8 months that when he was in her car he might of touched the map. ‘’The defense argued, ‘well, you can’t put a timestamp on fingerprints, they could’ve been six week-old fingerprints or six month-old fingerprints, there’s no way to tell.’’(ep 6 pg 85)The final reason of why i believe he killed hae is because there was a call and ones where we think the cell phone really was in Leakin Park.

Perhaps the only source of evidence that can rule in favor of Adnan comes from a friend of his, Asia McClain. Her version of the story provides an alibi that accounts for Adnan during the time of Hae’s murder. The consistency of her story matches with the letters she wrote to Adnan while in jail and her affidavit. Although, there is no real way of verifying that Adnan was actually present in the library during the time of Hae’s death. The story that Asia provides has a detailed timeline that challenges that of the prosecution.

Jay Wilds, who was an asset to the burial of Hae Lee, claims that Adnan had bragged about choking Hae Lee and helped bury her. After the investigation looked at Adnan’s cell phone data, it shows that a call was made around the time of when Jay Wilds claims that they were burying the body. In the Recent Developments paper, written by Justin Ellis, he writes about how Adnan had actually failed to provide a crucial piece of evidence before the trial started. This evidence was a stab at the claim that Adnan was in the park at the time of the burial. It contained a letter from an alibi witness known as Asia McClain.

First off, lets start off with Adnan’s alibi and what he was doing after school at the time of Hae’s murder. In the beginning of the time Adnan spent in jail, Adnan received letters from a girl called Aisah McClain. Let me just say first that Aisah and Adnan weren 't best friends or played important roles in each other’s lives, at all. Aisah McClain had nothing to benefit from writing these letters to Adnan. These letters indicate that Aisah had seen Adnan in the library right across

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.

Putting these circumstances aside, it was said by many that the relationship was pretty typical and Adnan got over the breakup easily. This was said by teachers and friends of both Hae and Adnan. One of Hae’s friends, Becky, explained the relationship as “just a silly, teenage, high school, relationship” (Koenig “The Breakup”) which proves that Adnan was not as upset as the prosecution made him out to be at trial. Another notable aspect is that after Hae and Adnan broke up, Hae got in a small car accident and asked Adnan to come help her, her new boyfriend Don also showed up and confirms that him and Adnan had a cordial meeting and explains that they talked for 10 to 15 minutes even after the car situation had been figured out (Koenig “What We Know”). If Adnan was really that broken up about the breakup, he would not have been so friendly towards the new guy who seemed to take his place in Hae’s life.

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.
