The controversial serial podcast that has grabbed the nation’s attention has generated many different opinions and view points, and the reality of this podcast has played a major role in the appeal of this story. The case of Adnan Syed has been completely mishandled & absolutely needs to be reconsidered. Adnan case has been completely botched and has many holes, and he has been claiming his innocence since day one. There is absolutely not enough evidence to convict him, since the prosecution completely twisted the evidence and made him look like an evil person.
I am in defense of Adnan Syed because of all the inconsistencies with his case. How could this little scrawny innocent teenager that has never been in trouble with the law strangle his …show more content…

Christina Guttieriez, his defense attorney, failed to provide a coherent trial for Adnan, and didn’t prove much to the jurors. In the court trial she talked extremely slow and kind of in an obnoxious way to where no point was made. She just talked and talked but never got to the point or conclusion.

The trial for Adnan was totally unfair and he deserves better than that. There isn’t even enough evidence to convict him of this murder! Just imagine sitting in prison for a murder you never committed. How would you feel? Adnan never got live a normal life, he never got to finish his education, he never achieved his dreams, never started a family, and never got to live life. Adnan has been respectful in prison, has never been in trouble there, and even received awards for his respect, all while serving in prison. How could someone so innocent be like that? If Adnan knew he was guilty, why would he be willing for someone to reinvestigate his case? All I’m asking for is to GIVE HIM
