Evidence In The Case Against Adnan Syed Casey

735 Words3 Pages

Gabby Lung Ms. Smith English 4, 3rd hour 12 April 2024. In the Case Against Adnan Syed, Adnan Syed was found guilty of killing his ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, and sentenced to life in prison. There are two camps of people, those who believe he is guilty and those who do not. In class we listened to the Podcast, Serial, by Sarah Koenig, and watched a documentary entitled, The Case Against Adnan Syed, by HBO. 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, …show more content…

They wanted to make it seem like Adnan did it and ignored the evidence proving Jay committed the murder. Jay clearly was told what to say and what to do to get scot-free. Jay went with it instead of supporting his “friend”. He knew Adnan was innocent. Jay should have been charged when he admitted he “helped” Adnan get rid of the body. Jay even seemed suspicious and they didn't look any further into it but felt the need to keep creating new problems for Adnan. They wrongfully convicted Adnan to close the case. They only recorded a little of the interview they had with Jay because they didn't want him to say anything that went against their case. The police coached Jay and then interviewed him ”the police only recorded the part of the interview with Jay that they wanted people to hear” (HBO). The police protected Jay, not Adnan, because they all must have come to an agreement that Adnan was guilty. There was no physical DNA to even convict

These inconsistencies have led some people to doubt Jay's testimony's credibility and question whether he was telling the truth about his involvement in the case. Jay Wilds was Adnan Syed’s drug dealer. He was trying to confuse people with his stories. He shouldn't have been called in to testify and this proves itself with all four different versions of his stories. For the defense team, it should have been a win.

Adnan Syed Is Not Guilty Of Killing Hae Min Lee

However, because that payphone is non-existent, Adnan never called Jay when he was done with the killing, from the best buy ‘payphone.’ Another point to prove Adnan's innocence is that the “witness” Jay was not a trusted source of information, nor was he reliable to tell the truth. Jay’s story was the main story used by the cops and detectives to first convict Adnan. However, Jay's story changes between the first time he told the detective and the first time he was in the trial. For example, these are quotes from parts of the serial podcast showing the inconsistency, “You say at Edmondson Avenue off of a strip?

Jay’s story shifts from statement to statement, and from trial to trial. It’s not the calm recollection of an involved party, but the remorseless web of lies from a guilty man. For example, at first Jay says he didn’t help Adnan bury Hae, then he says that he did. In his first statement Jay tells police that Adnan only

Commentary On The Hae Min Lee Murder Case

1187 Words | 5 Pages

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 state uses Jay as their key witness in the case against Adnan, but Jay's story changed where Adnan showed him Haes body. Jay says in one of his testimonies that Adnan showed him Haes body in the Best Buy parking lot, then he changes it in his testimony to “I went to pick him up from off of Edmondson Avenue at a strip and he, uh, popped the trunk open and…”(Serial 05.17). Jay was a friend of Adnan’s: they smoked weed and hung out together. The day of the murder according to Jay was that he picked up Adnan after he killed Hae and left her in the trunk of her car. This is where the two different places that he mentioned where Adnan showed Jay Hae’s body is the Best Buy parking lot and a strip off of Edmondson Avenue are important because these places aren’t similar either, one is a tech store and the other is an outdoor drug market.

The person giving the police all the facts about what Adnan did was Jay Adnan’s friend that helped him kill Hae, but did anyone take the possibility that Jay may have killed Hae by himself and just said that Adnan did it and he was the helper. Jay could have set the hole thing up because when Jay was interviewed by the cops in the 1st interview he said that they

With all this information, Sarah was able to build a strong foundation for this case. As the series continues, Sarah takes the audience through hell storms on whether or not Adnan actually committed this heinous act against Hae. Jay's story wasn’t consistent enough to point all fingers at Adnan. Jay's story changes plenty of times but is always ruled out. Mr. S also is a big piece to this case due to his claim.

After every interview with the authorities, Jay’s story would change in either small details or vastly different. In episode 4, Jay originally said that he found the body at Best Buy parking lot, but now it was a strip on Edmondson Avenue. His story changed in order to minimize his involvement because his relationship with Adnan isn’t worth going to jail for. The other piece of evidence was Adnan’s phone records which were used a confirmation to Jay’s witness statement. Most of the calls add up to what he said, but the phone was in the possession of Jay while Adnan killed Hae.

This links to Adnan's innocence because Jay is lying about his story. This makes Jay’s story unreliable, and can not be used as evidence to prove against Adnan. 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.

The Adnan Syed's Case

The real reason all eyes were on Adnan was due to Jay’s testimony. However, there were plenty of inconsistencies that were, in my opinion, too easily forgotten. At first, he says he helped bury the body, then during the second interview he had nothing to do with that. Who knows what his actual role in the murder was and whether he was framing Adnan. He did after all give the police the motive for the murder.

She states “A year after Adnan was arrested and the case came to trial, Jay walked up to the witness stand. There’s a moment when Adnan muttered something to him” (45). By Adnan calling Jay pathetic he showed that he couldn’t believe Jay would rat him out. This incident shows that Adnan is a liar and is mad at Jay for going to the police, showing that he is guilty. Even after controlling himself through the whole case he snapped when he saw the man that betrayed him.

Adnan Is Innocent

These two reasons are all that a person should need to believe that Adnan didn't have enough motive, or time, to kill Hae. Jays testimony sets the timeline and proves there is enough evidence, which is not presented by Adnan’s lawyer, to say Adnan is innocent by a straying story. The time period where Hae could've been killed does not match Adnan’s timeline. Jay, who is a convicted felon, was the only witness and is trusted to give a good story. Cristina Gutierrez, who was Adnan’s lawyer, had medical issues that distracted her from using useful information in his case.
