When something eventful happens the human memory keeps the details and the events stored in your memory. So when your involved in something as serious as murder happens you will be able to recount your steps and remember what happened that day. So if your stories keep changing you're casting a shadow of doubt upon yourself. Jay a somewhat friend of Adnan was called down to the police station for questions connected to Hae Lee disappearance. Throughout the interviews, Jay's story kept changing and a couple of inconsistencies popped up. Therefore, the inconsistencies in Jay Wild’s story is sufficient evidence to accuse him of murdering Hae Lee. In episode 4 of serial the police were interviewing Jay and asked him to recount the day Hae was murder. …show more content…

In the first taped interview jay says” Adnan only told him that same day that he was going to kill Hae. 2 weeks later, Jay says Adnan had started talking about it beforehand- four to five days before.” Then “ By the time jay testifies at trial, he goes back to the first version again- that he knew nothing until the day of and that he didn't really take it seriously.” This discredits jay and makes him look like a liar. Jay told the police one story but then in court, he does a 180 and tells a different story. Jay was trying to make it seem that he was kept in the dark until the day of the murder. This connects jay to the murder because If he knew about it days before that means he helped plan and execute the murder which makes it a premeditated murder. Furthermore, In a different interview, Jay talks about where he picked Adnan up and where he says Hae’s body. Jay calms “ I went to pick him up from off of Edmondson Ave at the strip and he, uh, popped the trunk open”, then Jay recalls a conversation with Adnan were Adnan declares “Um, that bitch is dead come and get me, I’m at best buy.” This is biggest inconsistencies to the cops. Someone does not forget where they saw a dead

He testified that he helped Adnan bury Hae Min Lee's body, and his testimony was used as evidence against Adnan in the trial. Jay's testimony has been called into question and was a central point of discussion in the Serial podcast. Jay Wilds' testimony was called into question by some people, including the creators of the Serial podcast, because of inconsistencies in his statements. For example, Jay provided different accounts of where and when he saw Adnan and Hae's car on the day of the murder, and he changed his story about when he learned that Hae had been killed. Additionally, Jay's testimony was not supported by other evidence in the case, such as phone records, which seemed to contradict his claims about his movements on the day of the murder.

Jay’s story shifts from statement to statement, and from trial to trial. It’s not the calm recollection of an involved party, but the remorseless web of lies from a guilty man. For example, at first Jay says he didn’t help Adnan bury Hae, then he says that he did. In his first statement Jay tells police that Adnan only

I believe Jay Wilds is a prime example of with the law for the reason that in the beginning he doesn’t say anything about what happens the day of Hae’s murder. Then, a few weeks past and he tells the story of what happened, how and why Adnan wanted to kill her, helping him bury his body and tells everything went down in the Best Buy parking lot. I believe Jay lied to the police to help himself because he didn’t want to deal with the consequences. I think he was involved in Hae’s murder for the reason being because there was more evidence linking Jay to the murder than Adnan although the only evidence towards Adnan is Jay. In serial episode 4, “Inconsistencies”, Jennifer, Jay’s friend discusses the night of Hae’s murder and what really went

Through the multiple times I listened to the Serial podcast, and vigorously wrote down notes during each episode, I have finally come up with a conclusion or conspiracy theory on who murdered Hae Min Lee. Serial follows the real life story of the murder of Hae Min Lee, a senior at Woodlawn High School in Baltimore County, Maryland. Her body was discovered in nearby Leakin Park a month later. She had been strangled to death by someone’s bare hands. Soon after, her 17-year-old ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, was arrested, tried, and convicted of the murder.

The state uses Jay as their key witness in the case against Adnan, but Jay's story changed where Adnan showed him Haes body. Jay says in one of his testimonies that Adnan showed him Haes body in the Best Buy parking lot, then he changes it in his testimony to “I went to pick him up from off of Edmondson Avenue at a strip and he, uh, popped the trunk open and…”(Serial 05.17). Jay was a friend of Adnan’s: they smoked weed and hung out together. The day of the murder according to Jay was that he picked up Adnan after he killed Hae and left her in the trunk of her car. This is where the two different places that he mentioned where Adnan showed Jay Hae’s body is the Best Buy parking lot and a strip off of Edmondson Avenue are important because these places aren’t similar either, one is a tech store and the other is an outdoor drug market.

In the first interview, he confessed of knowing what had happened to Hae due to the fact that he was there to witness it all. In his testimony, he revealed that Adnan had strangled Hae to death at a Best Buy parking lot because Adnan was angry at the fact that Hae had besmirched his honor. Jay also gave the detectives’ concrete evidence to show that he was credible. The strongest evidence that he had provided them was the location of Hae’s missing car. When the detectives saw the Hae’s missing car at the location where Jay said it would be found,

The person giving the police all the facts about what Adnan did was Jay Adnan’s friend that helped him kill Hae, but did anyone take the possibility that Jay may have killed Hae by himself and just said that Adnan did it and he was the helper. Jay could have set the hole thing up because when Jay was interviewed by the cops in the 1st interview he said that they

Inconsistencies like this appeared throughout a majority of the second interview and never got answered, suggesting that Jay may have been lying to accomodate what the detectives want to hear. In trial however, a vast majority of the jurors decided to believe in Jay’s testimony because they believed he had no reason to lie about a murder. Yet, Jay confirms in trial that he was informed by the police that he would be charged with murder if he did not show Adnan was responsible for murdering Hae. In the second trail during the cross-examination. Jay was asked by Gutierrez “They made it clear that

But if look at Jay's testimony he doesn’t have an alibi for that time frame. Many argue that it couldn’t possibly have been Jay because he didn’t have any motive to kill Hae, but I can argue he did because after Adnan's and Hae’s breakup Adnan was depressed and probably talked a lot about his feelings to Jay. This could even explain the conversation Jay mentions in his testimony where Adnan, under the influence of marijuana and on emotions, says, “I’m going to kill her [Hae].” But Jay was also under the influence of marijuana and after hearing lots of complaining from Adnan about Hae and the breakup, Jay could have decided to go talk to Hae about it. But the conversation soon turned into a argument, then with some harsh decision making while under the influence, Jay ended up killing

After every interview with the authorities, Jay’s story would change in either small details or vastly different. In episode 4, Jay originally said that he found the body at Best Buy parking lot, but now it was a strip on Edmondson Avenue. His story changed in order to minimize his involvement because his relationship with Adnan isn’t worth going to jail for. The other piece of evidence was Adnan’s phone records which were used a confirmation to Jay’s witness statement. Most of the calls add up to what he said, but the phone was in the possession of Jay while Adnan killed Hae.

He has a 50 percent chance of going to a state where he doesn’t remember himself doing any bodily harm to Hae. Jay ultimately helped the cops solve the case with his first hand experience of being with Adnan for the most part of his quest to kill Hae and assist to bury Hae and leaving her car behind. Ultimately Jay may have had some inconsistencies but for the most part he kept his story a lined. I mean what are the chances of getting the right story to fit the cell records for the major events that happens during the crime

I believe that Jay is guilty because he never gave a perfectly in detail response that would show otherwise. He changed his story multiple times. He added information sometimes and would took some away. He had a guilty look on his face in pictures and when he talked there was something about his tone of voice that made me think ‘guilty.’

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.
