Hae Min Lee Adnan Syed Case

In the past, have you ever been accused of something you never did and gotten in trouble for it? For example the old saying “whoever smelt it dealt it” or when one of your siblings does something but blames it on you so that you get in trouble and they don’t. Well this is what happened with Adnan Syed. Adnan was accused of murdering his ex girlfriend Hae Min Lee on January 13, 1999. I think that Adnan is innocent of all these accusations made against him and someone pinned the murder on him so they can get away with the crime that they committed. I believe that the case should be reopened and there should be a retrial to prove Adnan’s innocence so that he gets the justice that he deserves. Adnan Masud Syed is American with Pakistani heritage.

There were several pieces of evidence that were not tested which brings up question if they could have helped solve the case. When Officer Ritz is interrogating Mr. S he mentions testing cans and bottles from the crime scene. Sarah states, “He’s bluffing here they never do test.” This quote shows the lack of physical DNA evidence to prove Adnan’s guilt. This is important because the tests could have answered the question we’ve all been dying to know, who killed Hae Min Lee? Looking at another person’s perspective of the case, Katie Clifford, in her view, “In our files, we have a lot of things, evidence they collected that got sent off and we don’t have reports for everything and we are curious about the results that we don’t have and whether or not those exist and just why they’re not in the files that we have.” Katie Clifford is one of Deirdre Enright’s students, Adnan’s former lawyer. Moreover, since we are considering possible suspects we should talk about how Adnan became the star suspect of this

The question is, is it possible for Adnan to leave school, go on a drive with Jay to go smoke, and still make it in time for track practice? In Sarah’s opinion, “It is virtually impossible if you consider the following facts, which he then listed.” This is provides an alibi for Adnan which is important because he needs all the help that he can get. This means that Adnan isn’t where Jay says he was making Jay unreliable and this doesn’t give Adnan enough time to complete all the things that Jay claimed Adnan did within the state’s time frame of the 21 minutes between 2:15 and 2:36. “All in twenty-one minutes. I am one-hundred percent sure that if someone tried to do it, it would be impossible.” This means that when Sarah tried to get a better understanding herself of went on within those 21 minutes she did not believe it to be possible for Adnan to do all the tasks within the amount of time given. Providing all the evidence that proves Adnan’s innocence and showing counter arguments as to why the state’s evidence against Adnan is unethical and insubstantial. This brings to question, how did Christina Gutierrez, Adnan’s former lawyer blow it? Well there is a saying that goes, “the best offense is a good defense,” so theoretically maybe Christina Gutierrez did not do her best ability to win the
