Commentary On The Hae Min Lee Murder Case

I am a detective with the Baltimore Police Department working on the Hae Min Lee murder case. I’m not the lead detective, I'm more of the underdog. This case is starting to screw with me, it’s so twisted and none of it makes sense. An 18 year old girl leaving school disappears without a trace and four weeks later shows up dead in Leakin Park. It’s not out of the ordinary to find bodies in Leakin Park, because it's Leakin Park. I’ve been on the force now for about 4 years, I was an officer for 2 until I switched over. In all my 6 years in law enforcement I’ve never seen a case quite like this. Since I haven’t been a detective too long I’m taking the backseat on this one.

Today starts the new trial, Adnan is still on trial due to Jay's testimony. The judge said due to the DNA Adnan will probably be found not guilty. Here we are in the courtroom, all of Haes family, Adnans, Jays, and my nieces is. We have requested a dual testimony from Adnan and Jay, they are going to have to give his story more than once because Jay changed for us every interview. If we can get that from Jay and Adnan to say his side twice and it stay the same, the jury will probably say Jay is guilty and Adnan is not guilty. It’s been 4 hours since the Jurors have been out in session, hopefully they find a verdict soon. Once they come back and we have a verdict it will either be great or awful. “In the case of Adnan and Jay VS Hae Min Lee, Jay has been found guilty of Conspiracy to murder, and murder in the first degree, Adnan Syed has been found Not Guilty on all counts”. The courtroom suddenly splits in two, some gasping and showing disbelief and disapproval and some showing relief feeling justice had been served. Adnan Syed was returned to his
