1242 Words5 Pages

Adnan Syed's case remains an ongoing and complex investigation of a typical teenage romance breakup, spanning an extensive 24-year period up to the present day. Adnan's case led to continuous disagreements over his conviction on February 25, 2000, being charged with first-degree murder, Kidnapping, false imprisonment, and robbery. Some say that his conviction should be overturned, and some say that Adnan's conviction should be maintained. Evaluating the evidence, the evidence being used against Adnan shines a bright light on Adnan committing the crime. Based on the evidence, Adnan should keep his conviction, serving 30 years of prison. The Prosecution presented compelling evidence against Adnan, more robust than the defendant's evidence. Jay's …show more content…

The Prosecution's case was more robust than Adnan with the Prosecution using a combination of witness testimonies and cell phone records, painting Adnan as guilty. In contrast, the defense struggled to provide coherent and compelling evidence. Adnan's defense focused more on moving the blame to someone else, or they tried to discredit Jay's testimony. The only attempt to prove Adnan was innocent was by Asia McClain," Asia plus boyfriend saw him in library 2:15 to 3:15" (Serial 1.18). This evidence would have shown Adnan's innocence. There was, however, a lack of supporting evidence to back up the credibility of this piece of evidence. Many of Adan's witnesses say that he does not have the motive to murder Hae, which is debatable. Adnan has constantly told his friends that "he was going to kill that bitch” (Serial 1.7). In addition to constantly saying he will kill Hae, Adnan also wrote in pen, "I'm going to kill" (Serial 6.4) on a note that they used to make fun of Hae. Hae had also written a letter to Adnan frustrated letter "I'm really getting annoyed that this situation is going the way it is" She wrote, "You know, people break up all the time. Your life is not going to end. You'll move on, and I'll move on. But apparently you don't respect me enough to accept my decision" (Serial 6.4). There were many indications that Adnan had a motive to kill Hae, as suggested by his comments and letters he received from

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,

It was not the perfect high school relationship everyone believed it to be. Adnan and Hae’s relationship was an on and off type of relationship. By Christmas time, they were officially broken up. The state argues that Adnan's motive for killing Hae was because of their break up, saying this was not a crime of pride or violence, but a crime of passion. With these details put together, it is very clear that Adnan’s motive for killing Hae is because of their tragic

An evidence that makes Adnan guilty is when the State “contended that Hae was killed between 2:15 and 2:36 parking lot, about a mile from Woodlawn High School” (Chen 16). Basically, Adnan and Hae were together during that time frame where Adnan strangled her at the Best Buy parking lot. Adnan told Jay to come pick him up afterwards. This aligns perfectly with Jay’s story because he told the detectives that Adnan had killed Hae at the Best Buy parking lot. Thus, making Adnan the prime suspect since he was last seen with Hae.

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.

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.

People are convinced that Adnan committed the crime and that he is the killer. However, throughout the trial, there is a lack of evidence and also a lack of DNA evidence proving that Adnan did commit the crime. Syed was recently released from prison in September 2022 after serving 23 years. He is an alibi in the case meaning that he was accused of a crime while being elsewhere and being accused of a crime. There is a high possibility that Adnan is found guilty quickly because of his lack of emotions for Hae’s death and also since everything that happened throughout the case is pointed at Adnan for the blame.

This led to accusations claiming that Adnan killed Hae out of spite of the breakup. One argument presented was the fact that his religion could have driven him to commit the murder. The prosecution relied on ideas like honors killings from his culture, or rather the culture they assumed he fit into based on race. The prosecution claimed that Adnan killed her to protect his honor in the Islam faith and Pakistani culture, as the prosecution falsely identified him as Pakistani again, he is American. First, approaching the idea that his religion caused him to kill Hae.

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”).
