649 Words3 Pages

In my opinion, I think Adnan Syed is innocent what do you think? This argumentative essay is about a serial podcast is about the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee. The person charged for her murder and sentenced to 15 years in prison was Adnan Syed but due to the evidence I do not think Adnan Syed is Guilty of the murder of Hae Min Lee. The first reason why I think Adnan Syed is innocent. The person giving the police all the facts about what Adnan did was Jay Adnan’s friend that helped him kill Hae, but did anyone take the possibility that Jay may have killed Hae by himself and just said that Adnan did it and he was the helper. Jay could have set the hole thing up because when Jay was interviewed by the cops in the 1st interview he said that they …show more content…

To add towards this reason. Adnan had to get out of school and drive to the best buy to kill Hae in the 21 minutes. If Hae was killed around 2:15 and between 2:36 at the best buy parking lot. If Adnan did kill Hae he would not have time to get out of school and get in his car and drive to best buy and kill Hae and still make it back to school on time for track. Jay says Adnan calls him from a phone booth but when Sarah Koenig went to the best buy were Jay says Adnan called him after killing Hae was never there and even when Sarah checks the company's blueprints and the and the landlord of the best buy and they all say there was never a phone booth so Jay if probably lying about that. As Sarah Koenig did the route that they say Adnan took she says “ yes it can be done but it seems far fetched, if he did do it he would not have no time for stops or

Admittedly, it follows with his story that he would know where it is, but in the end, all it truly proves is that Jay was involved- it doesn’t actually implicate Adnan in any way. As a drug dealer, Jay must be used to living by his own morals. But Adnan was the opposite- he was always at the mosque, praying and trying to stay true to his religion. Considering this, how would Adnan have even known about Leakin Park, the place Hae was buried? It’s a shady park with a bad reputation, known specifically for dead bodies.

How many judicial cases are overturned because of bad evidence?

Jay's story does line up with one of the pings but not the rest, causing it to be insufficient in helping the case further convict Adnan. Including that evidence, Adans most credible Alibi, Asian Mclain, never testified at Syed's trial. Asain Mclaine wrote an affidavit and claims to have seen and interacted with Adnan Syed the day Hae Min Lee disappeared, between 2:15-3:15 pm. That time frame is the supposed time Hae Min Lee is supposed to be dead. Sarah Koenig explains in Episode 1, "Asia wrote out an affidavit on the spot.

She got a new boyfriend?’ And he didn’t know how to deal with that”(Cooper 19). How this disproves the original claim of Adnan being innocent is because this Jay talking about what would have been Adnan’s motive of the murder of Hae Min Lee. Which is reliable because he has never gone through something rough like the break up like Jay said but with him dealing with this and Hae getting a new boyfriend this definitely would have put him over and killed Hae. For the second quote this is from the serial podcast itself.

“ 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),

A phone call to one of Adnan’s friends, Nisha, was detrimental to Adnan’s case. Nisha was a friend of Adnan Syed’s that did not know Jay Wilds. According to Adnan, Jay had the cell phone, which would be used later in Adnan’s case, at the time of the Nisha call. At this time, Adnan claimed that he was at school. People claim that this call puts Adnan and Jay together at 3:37 P.M., which undermines Adnan’s alibi (Koenig, “The Case Against Adnan Syed”).

After every interview with the authorities, Jay’s story would change in either small details or vastly different. In episode 4, Jay originally said that he found the body at Best Buy parking lot, but now it was a strip on Edmondson Avenue. His story changed in order to minimize his involvement because his relationship with Adnan isn’t worth going to jail for. The other piece of evidence was Adnan’s phone records which were used a confirmation to Jay’s witness statement. Most of the calls add up to what he said, but the phone was in the possession of Jay while Adnan killed Hae.

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”).
