The Podcast Serial: The Adnan Syed Case

Being asked "who did it?" in the Adnan Syed case is a very complex question. Some say he's a murderer; some say he's innocent. But in the end, he must be innocent. In the podcast Serial, the first episode, "The Alibi," talks about the main story of the case. Adnan Syed was a 17-year-old high school student who got convicted for the murder of Hae Min Lee, who was his ex-girlfriend. Her body was found by a maintenance guy who stopped to go pee in a park far away from the high school they both had been at prior to the murder. The reason Adnan mostly got convicted was because of his ex-friend's story about that day. Jay. Jay says a story that switches every time he talks to the cops, and his story also doesn’t make complete sense (I'll get back

Most of the time, the court is correct.I’ll admit that this case is the complete opposite. Everyone involved says different things; there is rarely any physical evidence, and most people agree the case doesn’t make sense. I believe Adnan Syed was wrongfully convicted because Jay's story isn’t clear and his real personality is different from what the courts said.

To start off, Jay’s story on Adnan and that day always changes and doesn't make logical sense. I want to start off with the fact that Jay’s story changed a couple times. It proves two things since he changed his story: He doesn’t know the full story, and he is not trustworthy. See it from Jay’s perspective. If you're talking to the cops about a murder that you somewhat helped commit, remembering the story you told the cops the first time would be the bare minimum. Instead, he has some tiny details that have changed but also can be seen as big. I just

I'd like to start with some quotes from the podcasts.Adnan says, "Well, Stephanie was a very close friend of mine, as I mentioned. And I just kind of wanted to make sure that she also got a gift from him, you know? She had mentioned to me that she was looking forward to getting a gift from him. The next one is from Saad Chaudry, one of Adnan's old friends, "And I know it wasn't, like, great proof, but it was still proof that he wasn't obsessed with Hae." He wasn't. I was like, "He's a p... I'm trying to explain my age, like, "He's a player!""He has a lot of girls!" I wanted to give these quotes to prove a point. There are many more quotes and people who say similar things to this. Adnan didn't have the personality of someone who would do this. Time and time again, people have said he doesn’t seem to be obsessed with Hae, or that he is a good kid, etc. When the number of people saying Adnan would never do this is so high, and Jay Wild's statements are the only ones saying he would, it becomes suspicious in my opinion.While I believe Adnan's personality is one of the main proofs of his innocence, there is still a way that he would have committed this crime. First, many of the quotes are from people who used to be close to him. In many people's eyes, that ruins the validity of the statements. Also, he could’ve still murdered Hae even with the personality that he showed to everyone else. Some of these statements may be
