This story is very interesting because we really don’t know if he’s guilty or not . The first reason why i believe Adnan is innocent is because …show more content…

This part in the story is when Jay says what he knows about the murder but because of how old Hae’s body was they couldn’t test it for DNA ‘’ no physical evidence linking Adnan to the murder ‘’ . This proves he’s innocent because there’s no evidence . Plus in one of the stories he tells from that day saying Adnan called him from BestBuy he said he used the phone from there, checked by the police and they looked back at the blue prints from there , there was no phone at bestbuy and AT &T said they couldn’t use the phone calls as an example in the jury’s office because where ever they were the call was going to pin in the Leakin Park phone call pole . Where the body was buried. There Adnan is innocent because of the lack of evidence. All though i believe Adnan is innocent it is possible he’s guilty ,because he has a motive and he said he was going to kill her before and there’s people saying he asked her for a ride on January 13, the day she went missing . There’s no evidence he was at track ,where he was supposed to be . Some may say he’s guilty because of that ‘’ he doesn’t take Adnan’s words of threatening to kill Hae ‘’ Jay said he didn’t take him serious . It helps my topic sentence to be proved because it says why he may be guilty . Therefore Adnan is guilty because of the alibis of peoples and not attending

Jay states he was at Cathy's house with Adnan “before they went to bury her body. It was about six o’clock at night.” This quote proves that Jay was involved in the murder. He clearly wouldnt have admitted that he murdered Hae and burried her body. By saying he only helped bury the body would relieve the possiblity of him being the murderer because he now shows evidence that he was together with Adnan.

Therefore, the motive that the prosecution had presented is not at all accurate or even conceivable when looking at Adnan’s behavior after Hae and Adnan broke up. Instead, this shows that not only is the

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.

If thats is the case then how is Adnan guilty? How did they get enough evidence to actually prove that Adnan is guilty? It doesn’t make any sense. People remember some of it but not all of it.

Why would Jay need to keep changing his story if he did not commit the murder. Another coincidence was that jay knew where the car was located and he described the dead body in so much detail (“The Alibi’). There is no way if you glanced at a dead body you would remember so much detail. Also, he would not have known where the car was if he had no part in the murder. Along with the evidence I listed and other inconsistent evidence not adding up, prove Adnan is just as innocent as

They never used his alibi Asia, stating that he was in the library during the time of the murder. The DNA found on Haes Lee's body was never tested, because it cost to much to do so. The lack of evidence was a big issue with the case. Looking back the only thing the state had on Adnan was Jay's stories. Jay is not a very reliable source.

One piece of evidence that proves that Adnan is innocent and that did not kill Hae Lee is Jay's inconsistencies in his stories and interviews when talking to the police. When Jay is being interviewed by the police he tells in chronological order what happened and what he remembers from that night when Hae Lee was murdered. Evertime Jay told his story a small detail or location would change and not match up with the original story. In Episode 4: Inconsistencies Jay is being interviewed by the police, they had asked “why would you lie about the location? ”. Jay responded with, “Because I’m

If I was part of the jury I would’ve said that Adnan is not guilty. I say this because there’s simply not enough valid evidence that clearly points to Adnan murdering Hae. I still go with my initial instinct that something is up with Jay. My theory is that Jay was jealous of Adnan and Stephanie’s relationship. Peers described Jay as “He was ‘mean, intimidating, shady’”

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.

To illustrate, no physical evidence was used to prove Adnan’s guilt. Some may argue that the story Jay told was good evidence confirmed by Adnan’s cell phone records, but the truth is that the records barely line up at all. Furthermore, the story that Jay tells shifts each time he tells is, so it is impossible to know if he is telling the truth. Those who believe Adnan is guilty think the consistencies in his story are enough to prove he is telling the truth. At trial, though, Jay does admit to lying about his story when he tells it, and that does make him an unreliable main witness.

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.
