Essay On Adnan Syed Case

987 Words4 Pages

Imagine being accused for something you didn’t do. Imagine having a friend go against you. Imagine one minute your life is on track the next minute everything is messed up. Imagine having a good friend die. Imagine being in jail while the rest of your family and friends are out living their lives. This is Adnan Syed’s case. He has been in jail since 1999 and is still in jail up to this day December 22, 2016. Adnan Syed who was convicted of murdering Hae Min Lee, his ex girlfriend in 1999, should be released from jail due to the fact there is not enough evidence. One reason why Adnan is innocent is that he was an easy target to be a suspect. “He tried to remain a faithful Muslim all his life but he fell in love with me which is a great sin. …show more content…

“What makes more sense? That a little seventeen year old, never been in trouble with the law Adnan killed someone or that Ronald Lee Moore, rapist and murderer who got out of prison thirteen days before Hae disappeared, that he killed someone?” (Koenig, ‘What We Know’). If you think about it this shows that they need to test the DNA and have more evidence because they can’t rule out Ronald. “He was arrested a month later in Louisiana for burglary” (Koenig, ‘What We Know’). This shows that while he was out of jail he committed a crime so who’s to say that he didn’t commit the crime of murder by killing Hae Min Lee. “What we know is that Hae had her clothes on, although I know her shirt and bra had been moved up, Enright told …show more content…

“So, that’s pretty crappy luck that you loaned this guy, who ends up pointing the finger at you for the murder that you loaned him your car and cell phone the day your ex-girlfriend goes missing” (Koenig, ‘What We Know’). This is just one of the many reason why fingers have been pointed at Adnan. The car was his and the phone which makes all the call that Jay Wilds made and wherever Jay took the car points back to Adnan. “Then the next piece of bad luck is the Nisha call. I mean, even if the Nisha call could potentially be a butt dial, in the realm of possibility, maybe it was a butt dial, but what are the chances?” (Koenig, ‘What We Know’). Adnan is the only person to know Nisha that doesn’t mean that Jay could have dialed her number from the recent calls. Adnan could have told Jay about Nisha. “The the last thing that I think really sucks for him if he’s innocent is that Jay’s story and the cell phone records match up from about six o’clock to about eight o’clock which is when Jay is saying you are burying the body, and that’s the time of the day you just have no memory of where you were” (Koenig, ‘What We Know’). The reason he has no memory of it is because it was most likely just a normal day. Would you remember what you were doing 5 years ago on a certain day? All of these reasons show that Adnan has had a

Undisclosed and Serial, two podcasts, have made Adnan Syed’s case a public phenomenon. This case originated on January 13th, 1999. Hae Min Lee, a senior at Woodlawn High School, was found murdered and buried in Leakin Park about a month later. Adnan and Hae dated and had broken up shortly before the incident took place. This makes Adnan a main suspect in the investigation of her disappearance and murder.

In fact, I think it only further corroborates my theory that Jay killed Hae on his own and then pointed to Adnan. Because if you were in possession of your friend’s car and your friend’s phone, how would you make it look like your friend was with you? By calling someone in your friend’s phonebook whom you did not know. During the trial, the lawyers question Nisha about a time in which Adnan called her and then put Jay—at Jay’s insistence—on the phone to say hello. While Nisha confirms that such a call did happen, she is adamant that it was made from the adult video store where Jay worked.

The fact that he asked her for a ride after school, means it should put him together with Hae at around the time of her alleged death. Furthermore, the police investigation revealed that she had died at around 2:36, because there was a call made at that time where Adnan is said to have told Jay to come pick him up post-murder. Since this pins Adnan to Hae close to the time of her murder, it makes him a likely suspect and gives the police evidence to prove him guilty. Another detail that proves Adnan’s involvement with her murder is Jay’s own involvement with the crime. Jay was the one who confessed to the police that he helped Adnan hide Hae's

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.

This made the police, and including Koenig to be suspicious of Jay, thinking this might be a lie. Adnan is innocent because of Jay’s inconsistency with the cell records and the cell towers. There were several parts in Jay’s story that he changed in his second testimony which led to many inconsistencies.” Adnan’s was the first case to use a Cell Tower Pinging Technology, which Jay’s story doesn’t corroborate with the times”(Serial Episode 4). This means that Jay was making a story up to try and convict Adnan

“I want to say I'm 99% sure”(Koenig, “The Case Against Adnan Syed”) said Adnan when asked if he was in the library during Hae’s murder. This means that there is still an uncertainty as to where he was when Hae was murdered. Secondly, Adnan remembers being “high when the police called”(Koenig, “The Case Against Adnan Syed”). So he remembered that he was high 15 years later but he couldn’t remember the rest of the day. If Adnan was a normal everyday high schooler he should be able to remember the police calling him, unless he has had the cops call him weekly and now he’s just used to it which would raise a red flag without evidence.

Adnan wasn’t one of the only suspects and to be fair, comparing a 17-year-old to Ronald Lee Moore makes a huge difference. At the time, the mere thought that Ronald could have committed the crime wasn’t even released to the

Everyone that knew Adnan told Sarah Koenig that he was not the type of guy to hurt anyone, he was seen as the “golden child” and people could not possibly believe that he was capable any wrongdoing. Moreover, the young couple had many secrets which probably caused tension between them. A few days before Hae Min Lee’s disappearance Adnan purchased a cell phone. This cell phone would play a big part in this mystery because the evidence used from this phone is not

“Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering” - Hebrews 13:3. The murder case of Hae Min Lee is full of many holes and facts that don’t match up. That’s what makes this whole situation such an intriguing case, because a person can take either side. The verdict that I take on is that Adnan Syed the man convicted of killing Hae Min Lee is innocent. On January 13th, 1999 Hae Min Lee was murdered and buried in a forest named Leakin Park.

Relationships, lies, murder, conviction. These are all aspects that come into play when talking about the January 13th, 1999 murder of high school student Hae Min Lee. Adnan Syed, Hae’s 17-year-old ex-boyfriend was convicted of her murder in 2000. The problem with this is that the only evidence the state had to convict Adnan was the stories told by others, specifically someone named Jay who was with Adnan for some of the day Hae went missing and had possession of Adnan’s car and cell phone. He claims Adnan made him come pick him up after the murder was committed and assist him in burying Hae’s body.
