If a person is convicted of a murder, why wouldn’t he be trying to defend their case? Adnan Syed is guilty of Hae Min Lee’s murder. On January 13, 1999, Hae Min Lee, a popular high school senior, disappeared and was found dead. Six weeks later, Adnan Syed, Hae’s ex-boyfriend, was found guilty of her murder. He claims to be innocent but there is evidence to prove that he was guilty. First, Adnan had asked Hae for a ride, but she declines. With anger of the breakup and her decline, he kills Hae. Jay Wild, one person who was involved in burying Hae’s body had told Jennifer Pusateri about it. She told detectives and at trial that that Adnan killed Hae. Call records from Adnan’s phone showed where he made the calls and who they were from. The Nisha …show more content…

According to Becky, one of Hae’s friends, “I do remember that there was talk about it. I remember it felt like he asked her to give him a-- give him a ride somewhere.” When Koenig questioned some of Adnan and Hae’s friends, they claimed that Adnan asked for a ride from Hae. This is important because Sarah reads the police note to Becky and she claims that it is correct. Hae had turned down Adnan’s request and he might have snapped and became angry. As Adnan states, “I would-- wouldn’t have asked for a ride after school. I’m-- I’m sure that I didn’t ask her ...-anyone who knows her knows she always goes to pick up her little cousin,” This is hard to prove because there are many witnesses that say he did ask for a ride. In the podcast, he stammers in this part and many other times and it is difficult to believe him. Along the same lines, did he kill her because of a declined request about a ride? Or could it have also been because he was angry and jealous after they broke …show more content…

Hae Min Lee was killed in the the time between 2:15 and 2:36 p.m. As they follow the calls, there isn’t enough time to commit the time. In Sarah’s view, “It does seem far fetched because there’s no room for any errors… They all have to happen as quickly as they possibly can for the 2:36 call to work. But, it is possible. Or at least not impossible,” Koenig and Chivvis attempt the to follow the killer’s agenda but finding it hard to commit a crime in only twenty two minutes and two seconds. Sarah talks to Adnan on the phone about their attempt and he was shocked that it was possible. According to … “So the towers, the times, and Jay’s story are not matching---anywhere in that basically six hour period.” When Jay’s story is compared to the calls and the cell towers, they don’t add up to when Hae was murdered. With the call records not matching to the right cell tower there is more proof that Adnan did kill Hae. It was the Nisha

On February 9, 1999 Hae Min Lee was found in Leakin Park, Baltimore, Maryland with signs of manual strangulation. The state claimed that Adnan Syed, Hae’s former boyfriend at the time was responsible because they believed he was enraged of their relationship ending. My claim is Adnan Syed is likely not responsible for the death of Hae Min Lee, because there was insufficient evidence to prove he was guilty and the trial was unfair, it was based more on his racial background than the actual case itself. Adnan can be proved innocent with Don’s odd alibi and suspicions.

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.

Adnan, as is said by Sarah Koeing, "Adnan was the kind of kid who would stand up when your parents came into the room, Ali said. At parties or events, he’d be the first one to ask, 'how can I help you, Aunty? Do you need help setting up those tables, Uncle?'"(Serial Transcript 11). Besides the moments when Adnan was kind to his friends or his family, it is clear as Sarah talks to him throughout the podcast that he truly doesn't know anything about Hae's murder. Sarah also spoke to Deirdre Enright a lawyer in a different, but similar, case, who said "...when you have an innocent

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.

Providing the question of, How did Adnan kill Hae if he did not have his car nor get a ride from her? Moreover, Adnan and Jay both testified that Adnan’s cell phone and him were separated within the day around lunch time when Adnan returned back to school and left the phone in the car with Jay. Adnan explained that he did not receive his phone back until his track practice was finished which would be around 5:00 pm that day. Focusing on the cell phone call log we notice a call made to Nisha at around 3:32 pm which would make it impossible for Adnan to make the call that afternoon due to all his events that were testified.

S could be a possible suspect in the murder of Hae, Adnan loved Hae and he wouldn’t that upset to just go kill her, and Jay kept changing his alibi about what happened. Even Jay is saying that he found Hae’s body in the back of Adnan’s car, Adnan is ultimately innocent because Jay could have took part in the crime somehow and he could be possibly covering something up. What I learned most from this project is that people can’t trust everyone. They can stab them in the back or make up lies but all the lying and false accusations can make people be involved in crimes or tough situations. From what had happened to Adnan, readers can tell that Adnan couldn’t trust Jay because he was telling wrong information the

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 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”).
