Adnan Syed's Guilty For The Murder Of Hae Min Lee

“The worst form of injustice is pretended justice.” These words are spoken by Plato, a Greek philosopher; they speak for many injustices we have in today’s world and related directly to Adnan Syed and his conviction. In the podcast Serial, investigated by Sarah Koenig, released in 2014, she captures the journey of Adnan Syed’s conviction and the murder of Hae Min Lee in Baltimore, Maryland in 1999. Although there are many factors that point fingers at Adnan being guilty of the murder of Hae Min Lee, many things have been uncovered which can prove otherwise.

It is completely possible that it was Jay that made that call to Nisha either on purpose or by accident. Either way, there is no way of putting Adnan Syed and Jay Wilds together at that exact time based on a phone
