“Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering” - Hebrews 13:3. The murder case of Hae Min Lee is full of many holes and facts that don’t match up. That’s what makes this whole situation such an intriguing case, because a person can take either side. The verdict that I take on is that Adnan Syed the man convicted of killing Hae Min Lee is innocent. On January 13th, 1999 Hae Min Lee was murdered and buried in a forest named Leakin Park. Hae could have been murdered by a few people, but the jury for this trial settled on the killer being Hae’s ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed.
Nobody can determine how he intercepted Hae, exactly where he killed her, and the exact timing

No physical evidence linking Hae's body to Adnan or to the trunk of her car, none documenting that her body spent the first ~7 hrs "pretzeled up in a trunk" (physical evidence actually contradicts this theory), no physical evidence that Jay or Adnan were in Leakin Park that night, no documented attempts to recover shovels, no DNA testing done at time of investigation. Appalling lack of documentation of the burial scene. Based on the podcast Serial stated,”no physical evidence linking Hae’s body to Adnan or to the trunk of her car.” How can we really trust in the word of this fellow person and not outline the events of the day. One big piece of evidence that proves Adnan is innocent is Jay’s story of how events went that day. The woman who narrated the podcast, Sarah Koenig, and one of her fellow producers reenacted the events of that day, except for the murder, according to Jay’s story. I realized that the first part of the day could have happened, such as going to the mall and looking …show more content…
Thinking back to this question Jay wasn’t so scared enough to make up inconsistent details in various tellings of history where the inconsistencies don’t seem to serve a purpose. His stories of the story don’t recount what actually happened. Something about Jay’s story that seems to have fault is the location of the call that Adnan placed to Jay. This would be the call in which Adnan asked Jay to come pick him up from where he was with Hae’s car and body. In one of Jay’s first interviews, he said that Adnan called for Jay to come get him and he showed Jay Hae’s body at a drug spot. Later on, Jay changed his story and said that Adnan called from a payphone at Best Buy and showed him the body there. Jay even drew a map of the exterior of this Best Buy and included a payphone in the drawing. When more research was done, it turned out that there wasn’t a payphone in the parking lot for Adnan to call Jay. There was one in the Best Buy hall, but none outside like Jay drew up (Episode 9, Serial Podcast). Since Adnan didn’t kill Hae, it’s possible his friend Jay did. Jay definitely had a motive to commit this crime, and it involves his girlfriend and Adnan. Jay’s girlfriend, Stephanie, and Adnan were both king and queen of a school dance at Woodlawn High School. Jay had already graduated, but Stephanie was in the same grade as Adnan. The fact those two were at the dance
