Body: In the case against Adnan Syed; Adnan was accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee on January 13th, 1999. He was charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping, false imprisonment, and robbery. He was arrested February 28th, 1999 after Jay Wilds' second testimony which stated that Adnan had planned to kill Hae out of anger the same day of Hae's death. A question to mind is why did Jay not stop Adnan from this proposed plan?
Unless Jay had consciously connected the two previously. Speaking of death, Jay isn’t someone who is unaccustomed to random violence. One time, he tried to stab his friend simply because the friend “hadn’t been stabbed before”. Jay felt it was in his hands to make that right, just like he felt it was in his hands to correct the situation with Adnan and Stephanie. Not to mention, Jay is able to lead the cops straight to Hae’s car.
On a different note, Adnan and Hae’s relationship had to be kept secret because their parents did not approve of them dating, which means the Adnan was under a lot of pressure to keep the relationship a secret. When Hae broke up with Adnan, Adnan would have felt betrayed and hurt that someone he gave up so much for didn’t want to be with him anymore. These feelings would have built up inside of Adnan occasionally slipping out in joking comments like, “I’m going to kill that *****”. Adnan probably didn’t plan to murder Hae, he most likely snapped and killed Hae in the heat of the moment says another case specialist. Sometimes, when a person snaps like that they suffer memory loss of the event and cannot remember what they did.
The fact there was no physical evidence makes me uncomfortable with saying that he indeed killed her. I think it is quite possible that Jay just made up the story of Adnan killing Hae because he was upset that his girlfriend,
Hae’s best friend, Aisha, told the police that Adnan seemed to be overly involved with Hae. She said that Adnan would show up to her friends’ houses when they were hanging out and constantly paged her when she was out with them as well. She described to the police one specific time when Adnan showed up at a girl’s trip. Aisha said that Hae never minded and that no one found it too weird. Hae wrote a diary entry and in the entry, she described that time as romantic and stated that she loved Adnan.
In it, she says she and Adnan spoke for about 15 to 20 minutes while she was waiting for her boyfriend to give her a ride. Quote, "We left around 2:40," unquoted. Remember, Hae is supposed to be dead by
Also on this note, he was talking bad about Hae. Adnan writing to Aisha saying he wanted to kill someone can prove that he killed
Jay did a testimony about what happened with their breakup, but can we really trust jay on this? (He has lied about 3 times or maybe even more who knows). I don’t buy Adnan's motive to kill Hae. Because not one person said he was acting strange. Also Hae and Adnan were still friends.
He and his friend Aisha, were both exchanging a note with one another, including him talking bad about Hae. Adnan was writing in pen and Aisha in pencil (Koenig “The Case Against Adnan Syed”). The back of the note they were writing on was a note Hae wrote to Adnan about breaking up. This note mentioned how Adnan was being very immature about their situation. Adnan’s note written in pen is obvious proof of his guilt.
What would you do if you were falsely convicted of murdering your ex-girlfriend? The story of serial narrated by Sarah Koenig is about the 1999 murder case of Hae Min Lee and how new evidence could lead to the state realizing ….. They got the wrong guy. Adnan Syed is the person who was convicted for Hae Min Lee’s murder. Jay Wilds is a key witness to what happened to Hae as well as he admits helping out when they were burying the body.
Jay had Adnan’s phone because when Adnan was done with Hae he’ll call so he did. Adnan called Jay to come for him. Hae’s body was placed in the trunk of her car. Adnan open the trunk to show Jay, Jay was terrified and shocked
You can 't just sit there knowing that someone you know is going to be murdered and not do anything about it, you would have that on your mind. I don 't believe Jay 's story at all, he is a sketchy person who can 't make his mind up about certain things. He keeps changing details in his stories, and his alibi doesn’t seem right to me. Jay keeps going back and forth on his word and how things actually happened. He doesn’t seem trustworthy to me.
According to NBCNews, "Of the people wrongly convicted for homicides more than two-thirds were minorities, including half who were African American. " It's unbelievable that innocent people spend many years in a place where they don't deserve to be. This mistake probably just ruined many lives because the verdict can't be taken back. Now there might be another name added to this list of wrongly convicted, Adnan Syed. In 1999, he was accused of the murder of his ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, and was found guilty due to one testimony.
Of course, many people think Adnan Syed is guilty of murdering Hae by contradicting himself, by saying, “I am in here for my own mistakes.” He might have been on the edge of confessing his guilt until Sarah caught this and asked what he meant, and quickly recovers from his mistake. Adnan also slips his tongue by saying that he wants people to only look at the evidence, and not his personality. If I were convicted of a crime I would certainly like to have my personality be looked at, if I were innocent. So they could see what good I have done.
Putting these circumstances aside, it was said by many that the relationship was pretty typical and Adnan got over the breakup easily. This was said by teachers and friends of both Hae and Adnan. One of Hae’s friends, Becky, explained the relationship as “just a silly, teenage, high school, relationship” (Koenig “The Breakup”) which proves that Adnan was not as upset as the prosecution made him out to be at trial. Another notable aspect is that after Hae and Adnan broke up, Hae got in a small car accident and asked Adnan to come help her, her new boyfriend Don also showed up and confirms that him and Adnan had a cordial meeting and explains that they talked for 10 to 15 minutes even after the car situation had been figured out (Koenig “What We Know”). If Adnan was really that broken up about the breakup, he would not have been so friendly towards the new guy who seemed to take his place in Hae’s life.
