Hae Min Lee Research Paper

COINCIDENCES AND INCONSISTENCIES
February 9, 1999. The body of Hae Min Lee was found in Leakin Park. Fingers were quickly pointed towards young, 17 year old, Adnan Syed.
Adnan’s case is a complex one, there’s not a lot of evidence against him, however there are a lot of coincidences that happened the day of Hae’s disappearance. The question everyone's asking is, did he do it? Here’s the controversy; Adnan became a suspect to the Baltimore police because he had broken up with Hae prior to her disappearance, yet there was no physical evidence on Hae that led Adnan to be the murderer. In Hae’s diary, all she wrote about was how much she loved Adnan and how he’s changed her. There are speculations, however that Hae only wrote about the positive …show more content…

A psychologist, I can’t seem to remember his name, mentioned that when someone commits a murder they experience amnesia and say they didn’t do it and don’t remember doing it when they have the weapon in their hand. He said that this might have happened in Adnan’s case, he committed the murder and completely forgot, but again, there’s no physical evidence on the victim proving that Adnan was the one who murdered her. We also need to consider the release of Ronald Lee Moore just 2 weeks prior to Hae’s murder. His previous victim being a Korean girl as well. Maybe it was a coincidence that he was released and the strangulation prints on Hae were possibly from Moore. In July 2014, a cold case in Baltimore County was solved when new DNA evidence was tested. It could’ve been used to prove Adnan’s innocence. In 1999, Annelise Hyang Suk Lee, a 27-year-old female of Asian descent, was found raped, beaten, and strangled to death in her apartment bedroom. Police reexamined evidence from the case in March 2013, and a DNA profile was developed from one of the items and matched Moore’s profile. It’s super coincidental that Annelise’s murder happened in the small period of time that Moore was out of jail, same period of time as Hae’s

Evidence Against Syed Crumbles Under Pressure

2292 Words | 10 Pages

Therefore, it’s perfectly logical that Adnan can’t remember much about that day, even weeks later. Most importantly, both teens had alibis for January 13th at 2:36pm. Clearly, Adnan couldn’t have killed Hae that day. Next, while the jury does eventually rule in favor of the prosecution, when the state’s evidence is brought to light, it crumbles under the pressure.

Was Adnan Syed Guilty Responsible For The Death Of Hae?

1004 Words | 5 Pages

On February 9, 1999 Hae Min Lee was found in Leakin Park, Baltimore, Maryland with signs of manual strangulation. The state claimed that Adnan Syed, Hae’s former boyfriend at the time was responsible because they believed he was enraged of their relationship ending. My claim is Adnan Syed is likely not responsible for the death of Hae Min Lee, because there was insufficient evidence to prove he was guilty and the trial was unfair, it was based more on his racial background than the actual case itself. Adnan can be proved innocent with Don’s odd alibi and suspicions.

More than 3 people said that they saw both of these people around 3. Although Jay was able to show the police where Hae’s body and car were on that day, he is unable to show the police where the body was buried. This is weird because Jay claims he was with Adnan when they drove to Leakin Park and buried the body on the side of the road. Surely, one cannot forget where they buried the body of a girl they just killed. With the changes in the stories and the different statements from the people around the town, the idea that Adnan killed Hae doesn’t add up.

He stated that Adnan planned everything ahead of time and asked him to help after her death. Jay admitted to helping with the disposal of the body, but he’s testimony doesn’t sound trustworthy.

In such a small high school, the pressure put on the students who want to attend college is monumental. Therefore, only knowing that Hae and Stephanie were two of the most intelligent and athletic girls in the school raises the question to whether they were

Adnan Is Innocent

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”).
