As Sarah Koenig interviews the friends and family of Adnan Syed she learns lots of information the judges and detectives decided to disregard. She discovers information that could potentially free Adnan or at the minimum give him another trial.

He didn’t have rage in him according to his friends and the people around him. This makes sense because if Adnan …show more content…

Mr.S was able to spot Hae’s body when no one else could. The body was well hidden so how could he have found it. ”How could he notice the body? I don’t understand that either. I mean it’s pretty well covered.”Episode 3: Leakin Park p.46. The body was under leaves and was well hidden. How could Mr.S find the body? To spot a body that well hidden would mean that the person who found would know where it was and would be the one who placed it there.”Hae’s body was buried right behind this log on the stream side. If you were standing on the street side of the log, so on the other side, it’s not at all obvious that you’d notice her. So this story about why he stopped where he stopped, it doesn’t quite seem right.” Episode 3: Leakin Park p. 44. Here Sarah is describing how Hae’s body was placed. If the body was was on the other side of the street and buried under a log then how was it so easy for him to spot it.

Was Adnan Syed Guilty Responsible For The Death Of Hae?

1004 Words | 5 Pages

When Hae’s body was found in Leakin Park, she was laying on her side and twisted. After she was found the medical examiners and the forensic pathologists who reviewed her body and the crime scene claimed her body showed it was in a face down position and stretched out for eight to ten hours, which explains fixed frontal lividity. Lividity takes place after death, when all the blood pools from the victim’s body shift to a part of the body closest to the ground. The reason this evidence was not used in trial was likely because the explanation of the lividity proves she was moved to the burial site after lividity had become permanent, which means her body was not dumped in Leakin Park at around 7pm and she was hidden in a place with her body laid flat for eight to ten hours before buried in Leakin Park. What this autopsy report shows, anyone who is guilty of a murder would likely bury the body as quickly as possible as opposed to hiding the body hours

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.

Either way they both support the fact that Adnan was not given an effective lawyer. Adnan also has no real motive for the murder. This is important because motive is a key factor in identifying a murder as it explains their intentions and gives a reasonable explanation on why they had committed the crime. The prosecution, not being able to give a convincing motive, raises doubt as to whether Adnan had a reason and if he really was responsible for the crime. The prosecution claims that Adnan killed Hae out of rage due to their breakup, however there is no real evidence to support this.

He stated that Adnan planned everything ahead of time and asked him to help after her death. Jay admitted to helping with the disposal of the body, but he’s testimony doesn’t sound trustworthy.

Adnan didn't have the personality of someone who would do this. Time and time again, people have said he doesn’t seem to be obsessed with Hae, or that he is a good kid, etc. When the number of people saying Adnan would never do this is so high, and Jay Wild's statements are the only ones saying he would, it becomes suspicious in my opinion. While I believe Adnan's personality is one of the main proofs of his innocence, there is still a way that he would have committed this crime. First, many of the quotes are from people who used to be close to him.
