The Innocence Of Adnan Syed Adnan Syed was wrongfully convicted of a murder he did not do and there is no physical evidence he actually committed the murder. Some background on the case is that Hae Min Lee was Murdered in Baltimore in 1999 and was found several days after she went missing. The person who was convicted was Adnan Syed. The case had no physical evidence that he committed the murder but was arrested because he was the last known boyfriend. Also the case is going up to a retrial sometime later this year into next year. On the case of Adnan Syed he is an innocent man who was wrongfully convicted. Adnan Syed is innocent because there is evidence that he could have not done it within the time frame that was given by police. For the …show more content…

For the first piece of evidence showing that Adnan is guilty for the murder of Hae Min Lee. This is something Jay said years after his sentencing; “From the way he carried himself, at least, it looked like he had never lost anything before. And it was really hard for him to deal with being on the losing end. In that situation, he was the loser. And people were starting to find out he was a loser “ ‘Oh, you and Hae aren’t together anymore. She got a new boyfriend?’ And he didn’t know how to deal with that”(Cooper 19). How this disproves the original claim of Adnan being innocent is because this Jay talking about what would have been Adnan’s motive of the murder of Hae Min Lee. Which is reliable because he has never gone through something rough like the break up like Jay said but with him dealing with this and Hae getting a new boyfriend this definitely would have put him over and killed Hae. For the second quote this is from the serial podcast itself. This is when the police get an anonymous call saying; “The random call said that Adnan told a friend that if Hae ever hurt Adnan that he would drive her car into a lake”(Koenig Episode 4). How this disproves the claim is because he is talking about how he would hurt Hae and ironically according to Jay’s first testimony he said that Adnan first showed him Hae’s dead body at this cliff that had a lake at the bottom

In retrospect, Adnan Syed should not have been able to be convicted over a case that was put together by lazy detectives who could not even do their job. There were way too many unanswered questions to come to a conclusion on who the murderer

Over the past few months there has been another visit into the 2000 murder trial of Adnan Syed, who was convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, and is currently serving a life sentence at a Maryland state prison. The case was covered in a twelve part podcast by the name of “Serial”. The podcast which is hosted and produced by Sarah Koenig goes through the evidence behind the conviction of Syed to attempt to come to a verdict of her own. After listening to the Serial Podcast in its entirety and after carefully examining the evidence for the case against Adnan Syed it is in my professional opinion that Jay Wilds was in fact guilty for the murder of Hae Lee. Jay Wilds was the key witness in the case against Adnan and was involved

Adnan Syed is not a Murder I believe that Adnan is innocent, and did not murder Hae Min Lee. There are three main reasons that Adnan is proved to be innocent. First, Leakin Park is an hour away from where Adnan lives so why would he get out of his way to murder someone then dispose of the body an hour away. Second, it is hard for Adnan to strangle Hae in 3 minutes. Lastly, many people never described Adnan to have a violent personality.

It is hard to conclude for certain Adnan Syed’s innocence or guilt in this particular case. All of the evidence given seems to be very circumstantial or thin. For example, take Jay Wilds’ testimony. Much of the State’s case is reliant on this and his credibility as an eyewitness, yet they allow him to repeatedly change his recount of the story. In total, Wilds retells his account of what happens six different times and each time varying details start to shift.

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.

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.

When the police interviewed Jay, they asked “Was Adnan actually with you when Hae was killed?” and Jay admits to lying (Serial: “Episode inconsistencies”). This piece of evidence is important because it shows us that Jay's testimonies aren't making sense nor are they lining up with Sarah's evidence. Jay also openly lied about Adnan being with Jay during the murder of Hae Min Lee. Adnan also states that he was at the school's public library and he states that he had to stay after school because he had track practice a little after school ended.

According to an article in Rolling Stone magazine, Syed’s guilt is clear due to incriminating evidence. Cell phone records indicate that on the night January 13, 1999, he was in the area where Lee’s body was located (McDonnell-Parry). Additionally, Jay Wilds, a primary witness and friend at the time, testified that on the day of Lee’s disappearance Adnan Syed was angry about his ex-girlfriend having started a new relationship with someone else and that he wanted to kill her (McDonnell-Parry). This reaction to her moving on further incriminated him because it gave him a motive to kill her (McDonnell-Parry). Through this evidence, the prosecuting attorneys presented a convincing argument against Adnan

She states “A year after Adnan was arrested and the case came to trial, Jay walked up to the witness stand. There’s a moment when Adnan muttered something to him” (45). By Adnan calling Jay pathetic he showed that he couldn’t believe Jay would rat him out. This incident shows that Adnan is a liar and is mad at Jay for going to the police, showing that he is guilty. Even after controlling himself through the whole case he snapped when he saw the man that betrayed him.

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.
