Adnan Syed Is Not Guilty

When Adnan was arrested on February 28, 1999 after Jay’s interview with the police regarding the day Hae Min Lee was declared missing, his alibi contradicts Jay’s alibi and claims that what Jay said was incorrect, according to Adnan. Adnan Syed is not guilty because of his alibi. His alibi did not consist anything that would get him from being put in jail. Yes, if someone does not have a good alibi, it could signify that they are guilty. Although Adnan’s alibi was weak, it was weak because when they interrogated him it was the middle of the night and was taken right out of bed. When you have just woken up, you lack of focus.
