705 Words3 Pages

Title Countless of people are arrested for crimes that they havnen’t committed. People are being sentenced to jail for life or are being put on death row. In an article called “ 8 Famous Faces Who Were Falsely Accused Of A Crime” has a case of a man named Dewey Bozella, who is a boxer, was accused of murdering a elderly woman in her apartment at the age of 18. He spent 26 years in jail before a group called The Innocence Project helped him prove his innocence. Stories like these makes me wonder what they deserved to be punished like this and serve time in jail. Just like Dewey Bozella a young teen named Adnan Syed who was in high school is being accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee. I believe Adnan is innocent of murdering Hae …show more content…

When it was Jay turn to tell his side of the story to the police, he told his story three times and three different ways. He kept adding different details to each story where in his second and third story it says that Adnan showed Jay Hae’s body in Best Buy, but in the first story it says that Adnan showed him the body in Edmondson Ave. This is very unclear for me because you can’t just forget where someone shows you a dead body, the person would most likely be traumatized of seeing the dead body. Then Jay says he saw making a phone call in a nearby booth by Best Buy, but evidence shows that there was never a phone booth that ever existed in the first place. Another evidence that shows a change of Jay’s story is that he keeps adding to his story by putting specific things he was doing at specific times like saying in his third story that after they dropped off Hae’s car they went to go buy weed for a friend, but in the other two stories is says they go directly to Patapsco State Park to go and smoke weed. Interestingly enough it is weird that Jay would testify against his friend without having a specific story organized and that seems accurate enough to go against …show more content…

Asia claimed to have seen Adnan after school in the library during the twenty-one minutes that Hae was murdered. She also said that he had a conversation with Adnan in the library. The conversation was about Hae and Asia said Adnan was calm when it came to her topic and that he wanted to see her happy. This is important evidence in proving Adnan innocence because Asia is claiming to be with Adnan during the time Hae’s murder happen which was after school. The final piece of evidence I think is important is the cell phone towers. The service that was on Adnan’s phone which was AT&T said that the exact ping of the phone was not reliable because it was not accurate location. This evidence that the cell phone ping was not accurate was never brought up in court, which would of made it the evidence of the phone ping unreliable. This saying would’ve helped Adnan in proving his innocence and make him one step closer to being a free

Out of all of the witnesses and all of the facts, the only hard evidence the prosecution had was Jay Wilds’ testimony and Adnan’s own cell phone records. Without the records, the jury must simply decide who is more credible- Jay or Asia. In fact, in a 2015 interview with The Intercept, prosecutor Kevin Urick admits that either Jay’s testimony or the cell phone evidence by itself would not be enough to prove Adnan’s guilt. Therefore, the state needs both of them to put Adnan away. But honestly, the state has neither comfortably.

On January 13, 1999, Hae Min Lee was reported missing and later found dead in Leakin park in Baltimore . Adnan Syed, Hae Min Lee’s ex boyfriend was convicted of the murder then sentenced to life on the charge of 1st degree murder. Jay Wilds was the witness for the trial that stated that Adnan had killed Hae, and both Adnan and himself had buried the body. Adnan’s lawyer for this trial was Christina Gutierrez who failed to use the only alibi for Adnan, Asia McClain, and go through DNA evidence on Hae. I believe Adnan Syed should be granted a second trial, because of the competence of his attorney.

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.

Christina failed to exhibit all of the evidence supporting Adnan's innocence. Adnan's new lawyer, Justin Brown, brought to the judge's attention the unreliability of the cell phone tower evidence. At the time of the murder, Adnan's cell phone was used near the burial site. Adnan states Jay had his phone. The state claimed that the cell phone tower evidence inferred Adnan murdered Hae.

Jay's story was did not really line up with all of the cell phone calls besides this one which is the biggest call of the case. And like one of the defence attorneys said you would have to have the worst luck in the world for all of this to happen in the span of a couple hours. It started with him lending jay his car and some people may not think this is that big but jays reasoning is saying that the reason jay had his car so adnan could get into haes car to murder

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

This is important because if Adnan was very late to track practice, then his teammates would have noticed and remembered that day, so why is Jay telling a story to make Adnan look even worse? Therefore, if Adnan’s case was filled with many lies, who could have been telling the actual truth about Adnan? What seems to be true is everything that proves he’s innocent because it seems to make more sense in the

The phone was brand new so why leave it with an acquaintance? This seems to be the only physical evidence because during the trial they didn’t mention Adnan’s DNA being on the body.

To find Adnans whereabouts, they tapped into his cell phone records. Why did he call Jay so many times if he claimed to not know him? The cell phone records matched to the Best Buy location. Also Jay had brought up the phone booth at Best Buy, but there is no phone booth. Defense argued that the cell records can’t be used as evidence because they are sometimes inaccurate.

There was absolutely no evidence that could tie Adnan to the case, but he was still convicted of the crime. I’m not sure if the crime scene investigators at the time missed any details or didn’t think the case was too important since Adnan was Muslim, but they should have found at least one small piece of evidence. From all the crime scene investigation shows that I have seen over the years the investigators have always, and I mean always found some type of physical evidence from the crime scene or off the victims body. Regardless of any type of crime scene, the investigators always managed to find a shred of evidence so the idea of Adnan’s case having no physical evidence found makes it seem very

Jay was scared that the truth would get him in trouble, so he lied. Secondly, Jay’s testimony had faults and changed every time it was told. For example, the number of days before Adnan told him he was going to kill Hae changed every time. In jay’s first interview he said Adnan told him the same day, in the second interview he was told four to five days in advance. Another example is the location where Adnan killed Hae.

This was proven by the locations of the pings given by cell towers. On Adnan’s part, both I and the reporter found his actions of not contacting Hae after she disappeared highly suspicious. I began to question Adnan’s integrity after I heard this. From jail, Adnan references a possible third party when he makes an odd call to someone at Kathy’s home. I wonder why the police never went the extra mile to figure out where that call came from.

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.
