People can get imprisoned on little to no evidence, which is what happened to Adnan Syed. In the true crime podcast Serial, Adnan Syed should not have been convicted for the murder of Hae Min Lee. Seeing that there's a scarcity of evidence, Jay Wilds story is not consistent, and Adnan had an alibi. There’s a scarce amount of evidence to convict Adnan Syed. For example, the hardest piece of evidence that is supposed to prove Adnan guilty is a fingerprint of his on a map found in Hae’s car. Koenig “The Case Against Adnan Syed”.Keep in mind Hae and Adnan started dating in 1998 and broke up in December of that same year. This is not evidence against Adnan.

Out of all of the witnesses and all of the facts, the only hard evidence the prosecution had was Jay Wilds’ testimony and Adnan’s own cell phone records. Without the records, the jury must simply decide who is more credible- Jay or Asia. In fact, in a 2015 interview with The Intercept, prosecutor Kevin Urick admits that either Jay’s testimony or the cell phone evidence by itself would not be enough to prove Adnan’s guilt. Therefore, the state needs both of them to put Adnan away. But honestly, the state has neither comfortably.

1, p. 6). She explains how the investigators did not find any physical evidence because usually in a murder investigation, there has to be some physical evidence because it helps the investigators identify the killer of the victim. Even though some prints lead back to Adnan, it still doesn’t mean that those prints were from that day because Adnan has been dating Hae and Adnan probably touched Hae’s car. To add on, Sarah claims that when she interviewed the students from Hae and Adnan’s school, no one said that they saw Hae leave school with him, and that he wasn’t even near Hae’s car.

We tried to make a determination ourselves as to guilt or innocence. I believe that the evidence showed that Adnan is innocent and Jay Wilds and Jay’s attorney/lawyer were responsible for the wrongful conviction of Adnan. They wrongfully convicted Adnan just to get a conviction for the crime, so they no longer had to deal with the case. They talked about stuff in court,

According to Clifford, “In our files we have a lot of things; evidence they collected and send off, but we do not have reports for everything.” (“The Opposite of The Prosecution”). In other words, a substantial amount of evidence that was obtained during the time of the Syed’s case is missing. These claims made by Enright and Clifford support Syed’s plead for innocence. The absence of hard, physical, forensic evidence communicates the idea that the conviction of Adnan Syed is highly unjustified and is solely based on unreliable, inconsistent

A piece of evidence that supports this is, "During the trial, it was revealed that the prosecution's timeline of events, as supported by the cell phone records, didn't align with the actual call logs, suggesting a discrepancy in the state's narrative." This evidence indicates that Adnan's conviction may have been based on flawed or misleading information. In light of the discrepancies between the prosecution's timeline and the actual cell phone records presented during Adnan Syed's trial, it becomes evident that the evidence used to convict him is questionable. This inconsistency undermines the credibility of the state's narrative, suggesting that Adnan's guilt may have been based on erroneous or incomplete information. By highlighting these discrepancies, we can see that the prosecution's case against Adnan lacks the solid foundation necessary for a conviction.

Adnan Syed, a kind boy and an intelligent student who has been in jail for 15 years, is innocent purely out of the fact that the defense has little to no creditable evidence supporting Adnan's guilt, and the loss of, not one, but two people in this community is tragic.   Adnan Syed was an upstanding student and a kind boy that was put in jail for a crime that he didn’t do. Adnan's friend, Jay, has been the one who has testified against Adnan. Not only has jay testified against Adnan, he helped bury Hae Min Lee's grave.

Adnan, Innocent or Guilty? How do you feel about an ex-boyfriend killing his ex-girlfriend on a random day? Well this story supposedly happened to Adnan Syed who was convicted for the murder of Hae Min Lee, and in my opinion, I conclude Adnan is innocent based on lots of evidence from the podcast “Serial.” In the year around 1999 Adnan Syed was a young teenage boy at Woodlawn High School, and he used to date Hae Min Lee but then they broke up.

Jay didn't mention this during his trial but he told Sarah that him and Adnan went to smoke weed that day. This was a big deal for both of them because how did Jay remember all of what Adnan did but yet he still lies about where he was. This shows me that Adnan Syed is not guilty because although Jay has his alibis and Adnan has his, Jay’s alibi Jenn was covering up for.him. She hid a lot of information from the police that could have possibly proved Adnan’s innocence

As the case goes on, Jay is interviewed more and more, and he first talks about Adnan calling Jay to meet at strip. Then later on, he says Adnan called him to meet at Best Buy (serial podcast). This connects to Adnan’s innocence because Jay is just throwing different stories out to try and convince the jury he is innocent.
