What would you do if an innocent guy is behind bars? The story of Serial narrated by Sarah Koenig is about Hae Min Lee an 18 year old that was murdered in Baltimore, Maryland in 1999. Adnan Syed is accused and convicted of killing his ex, Hae Min Lee. Jay Wild is the guy who´s involved in the crime of helping Adnan hide Hae’s body although the faces no charges. Who´s Adnan? Adnan Syed is an innocent guy that's being accused of the murder of Hae Min Lee. If Adnan was the person to kill Hae it wouldn't make sense, that day multiple events came across making it nearly impossible for Adnan to be at scene of the crime.

The first reason I believe Adnan is innocent is that he didn't have that much time to kill Hae. This reason makes sense because Adnan did a lot of things that day. School ends at 2:15, then he had track practice at 4pm and leakin park is an hour away from Adnan's location and then plus the 21 minutes that took him to kill her. This part of the story is when they come to the conclusion that Hae was being strangled between 2:15 and 2:36. “So sometime in those 21 minutes, between 2:15 and 2:36, she was strangled.” (Episode 1)
This proves that he is innocent because he's obviously going to take forever to get to his car and …show more content…

This reason makes sense because people don't have that much evidence to prove he's guilty of this crime. Most of the people talk about how Adnan and Haes relationship was. This part of the story is when Sarah says that Adnan and Hae relationship was serious. Sarah Koenig states “Hae was Adnan's first serious relationship with a girl.” Episode 1 This reveals that he could be innocent because even though they broke up before Hae’s murder Adnan still cared about her and the was hurt from it. Therefore, Adnan is ultimately innocent because Adnan was couldn't hide what the was feeling towards the death of

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.

“(Serial.02.10). Sarah Koenig is the author of the Serial podcast and almost everyone that Sarah Koenig talked to said that he was just sad and that he wasn’t ever filled with rage or vindictiveness to the point where he would go and murder her. Adnan was a good kid, he did well in school,he had a job, and he volunteered at the mosque, so the State's motive doesn't stand in the eyes of anyone that knew Adnan. Adnan wasn't heartbroken when Hae and him broke up and this is shown when Saad says that “it was still proof that he wasn't obsessed with Hae. He wasn't.

This story is interesting because at some points you’re like Adnan is innocent and at others you’re like ohh….this could mean he’s guilty. I believe Adnan Syed is innocent because no forensic evidence was ever tested and used in trial. Also summer (last person in contact with Hae) claims that Hae couldn’t have been there at the time the state says she was murdered. The first reason i believe Adnan is innocent is that no forensic evidence was ever tested nor used in trial.

If a person murders someone and thinks they are guilty, why would there be so much evidence proving the opposite? Adnan Syed is guilty of Hae’s murder.

Nothing out of the ordinary happened that day. Lastly, there wasn’t enough witnesses that heard Adnan was leaving with Hae that day. There is not enough evidence to convict him of that murder. Primarily, because the only witness they have on Adnan is Jay. Many people have their droughts on Jay people believe he killed Hae Lee.

Sarah states, “ If I’m Adnan and I need to be seen for track, I’m freaking out right now, that I need to get back for track to have an alibi.” “But, it is possible. Or at least not impossible, which was what Adnan was saying in that first letter.” These quotes explain Adnan is innocent because if he had killed Hae before Jay said they went to the park to smoke weed, why would Adnan want to go far from school if he knew he had a track practice to go to? The route Jay was explaining could have been possible, but everything had to have been the right time and right movements to prove it.

I believe Adnan is innocent because the evidence used to determine the verdict isn't justly sufficient, minorities were unfairly targeted for crimes, and he's psychologically incapable of being considered a murderer.

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.

Ever since i've started listening to Serial, I’ve been hearing all sorts of things from my classmates on whether or not Adnan killed Hae. They've starting questioning everyone in each episode, listening carefully to any detail into who may be the killer, but this story doesn’t have an ending and till this day remains unsolved. Listening to others and what they might say about this case, may have a disagree with the ones that say Adnan is guilty. I believe Adnan Syed is innocent. A murder of Hae Min Lee took place in Baltimore, Maryland on January 13, 1999 and some, including the state, believe that her ex-boyfriend Adnan Syed is guilty for that crime.

Using the fact that Adnan led a 'dual life', he is easily found guilty since everyone already thinks of him as shady since they found out he did drugs.

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.

Hae-Min Lee, Adnan’s girlfriend, went missing in January and her body was found buried in a local park 3 weeks later.
