Did Adnan Syed really kill his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee? Adnan was convicted in this case even through the lack of evidence, his phone records, and his friend Asia’s letter stating where he was at the time. Adnan Syed should not have been convicted of this murder. The lack of evidence on Adnan Syed should not have convicted him. When the detectives interviewed Adnan, they did not find any good thorough evidence. But Adnan still convicted regarding the lack of evidence. There was no DNA or forensic evidence at the scene, besides a palm print. Detectives say “On the palm print, there were 13 other people around and possibly holding the same book as Adnan” (The Case Against Adnan Syed 6). If there is not any evidence on Adnan, you can not link …show more content…

Their only evidence was Jay's testimony against Adnan. Jay also could not keep his story straight. In addition to that, in a murder trial there should not be a reasonable doubt if someone is found guilty. Asia’s letter helped Adnan’s case on where he was and who he was with. When Adnan could not have any visitors, Asia wrote him a letter trying to help his case. In Asia’s letter, it gave Adnan an alibi. In Asia’s letter she stated “On Jan 13th we chatted in the library and went to your family’s house” (Rhoute Talk 5). This implies that Adnan could not have been in two places at once. Asia called the library to see if they had a surveillance system from 1pm-8:45pm. In her letter it says “Woodlawn Public Library found they had a surveillance system inside the building” (Rhoute Talk 5). This means Adnan was in the library with Asia and the surveillance system proves it. Therefore, the surveillance system should always be considered in a trial because it gives them proof. Adnan’s phone records showed nothing to the detectives that proved Adnan's guilt. All of the phone records that they have for Adnan Syed are from Jan 13th

We tried to make a determination ourselves as to guilt or innocence. I believe that the evidence showed that Adnan is innocent and Jay Wilds and Jay’s attorney/lawyer were responsible for the wrongful conviction of Adnan.

A piece of evidence that supports this is, "During the trial, it was revealed that the prosecution's timeline of events, as supported by the cell phone records, didn't align with the actual call logs, suggesting a discrepancy in the state's narrative." This evidence indicates that Adnan's conviction may have been based on flawed or misleading information. In light of the discrepancies between the prosecution's timeline and the actual cell phone records presented during Adnan Syed's trial, it becomes evident that the evidence used to convict him is questionable. This inconsistency undermines the credibility of the state's narrative, suggesting that Adnan's guilt may have been based on erroneous or incomplete information. By highlighting these discrepancies, we can see that the prosecution's case against Adnan lacks the solid foundation necessary for a conviction.
