Adnan Syed Did Not Murder Hae Min Lee Research Paper

582 Words3 Pages

Adnan Syed is not a Murder
I believe that Adnan is innocent, and did not murder Hae Min Lee. There are three main reasons that Adnan is proved to be innocent. First, Leakin Park is an hour away from where Adnan lives so why would he get out of his way to murder someone then dispose of the body an hour away. Second, it is hard for Adnan to strangle Hae in 3 minutes. Lastly, many people never described Adnan to have a violent personality. Therefore, Adnan Syed did not murder Hae Min Lee.

The first element about Adnan’s case that proves that Adnan is innocent is that Leakin Park is an hour away from where Adnan lives so why would he get out of his way to murder someone and then dispose of the body an hour away. In the investigation on the case, Sarah Koenig was talking to Rabia Chaudry, friend of Adnan, and this comment proves that Adnan wouldn’t be able to murder Hae: “is Adnan suppose to get to Leakin Park so fast? It’s like an hour into the city. Leakin park is nowhere near the school.”, as well as some more evidence from when Saad Chaudry was talking with Adnan while he was locked up and Adnan said “I have never been there. I don’t even know where it is” With this evidence it is evident that Adnan wouldn’t be able to kill Hae. …show more content…

Evidence to prove that Adnan couldn’t have strangled Hae in 3 minutes is shown when Sarah Koenig and Dana Chivvis tested how long it would take to get to Best Buy in a minute and a minute and a half in the car for the actual killing of Hae. Sarah and Dana took 22 minutes and 2 seconds, which concludes that Adnan could have been at the murder scene, but he couldn’t have strangled Hae because all together it should’ve took 21 minutes, so that barely leaves time for any sort of struggle. Therefore Adnan wouldn’t be able to murder Hae because he wouldn’t have time to strangle

Was Jay Wilds Responsible For The Death Of Hae Min Lee

I believe that Jay Wilds is responsible for the death of Hae Min Lee. There is no way that Adnan could have committed this murder. Legally, Adnan has no alibi, but deep within Cristina Gutierrez’s (Adnan’s attorney) was a note that said, “Asia plus boyfriend saw him in library 2:15 to 3:15.” (Episode 1) One of her law clerks also wrote, “Asia McClain

Sarah Koenig's Evidence In Episode Seven Of The Serial Podcast

1608 Words | 7 Pages

Detective Deirdre Enright says, “You don’t have enough to put Adnan away, not to me you don’t,” in episode seven of the Serial podcast. Sarah Koenig is the narrator of this podcast, and she delivers the evidence in an unbiased tone so that the audience can develop their own stance on the case, without being subconsciously swayed by her opinion. The case focuses on the trial of Adnan Syed, and debates whether or not he killed Hae Min Lee on January 13th, 1999. After weighing in all the facts, rumors, and theories, the only logical answer is that Adnan is, without a doubt, innocent of murdering Hae Lee. Pretty much the only thing the prosecution has to go off of is the cell phone records of that day.

Hae Min Judy Analysis

This story is interesting because at some points you’re like Adnan is innocent and at others you’re like ohh….this could mean he’s guilty. I believe Adnan Syed is innocent because no forensic evidence was ever tested and used in trial. Also summer (last person in contact with Hae) claims that Hae couldn’t have been there at the time the state says she was murdered. The first reason i believe Adnan is innocent is that no forensic evidence was ever tested nor used in trial.

Adnan Syed: First-Degree Murder Of Hae

946 Words | 4 Pages

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.

The Case Of Hae Min Lee

1638 Words | 7 Pages

No one really knows what happened to Hae Min Lee that afternoon, except the one who killed her. But, with no evidence, the jury and the judge decided to sentence Adnan for a crime that were not sure he committed. The inconsistencies alone in Jay’s story show that there is not enough solid evidence to show that Adnan truly killed Hae. Plus, the phone records clearly show that Jay is lying about what happened or where they were at what time. The statements from the classmates or people that knew Adnan also show that Adnan was not with Jay or Hae at the time of her “death” and that Hae was not dead by 2:36 that afternoon.

Adnan Syed: Innocent Or Guilty

“ Okay, so no one actually testified at trial that they saw Hae and Adnan leave school together.” So nobody saw them leave together, that’s some evidence that Adnan didn’t kill Hae. Also some people said “They’re still friendly; several people said they couldn’t tell or didn’t know that Hae and Adnan broke up.” so basically they were still pretty close after their breakup so honestly there is no motive that Adnan would have used to kill Hae. (S1.ep2.pg.40),

Adnan Syed: Guilty Of Murdering Hae

216 Words | 1 Pages

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.

Adnan Is Innocent

These people say that since Hae broke up with Adnan and that was enough reason to want her dead. However, Adnan was a smart kid who would realize that killing someone for breaking up with you is not a valid reason. Adnan was not hurt enough to kill Hae; he was devastated when she died and he didn't know about it when he was told. Also, they say that Adnan had enough time to kill Hae. What this opinion fails to take into account is that Asia saw Adnan at the library around the same time of the murder and she was never used in court as an alibi (Koenig, “The Best Defense is a Good Defense”).
