Recommended: Adnan syed's guilt

Adnan Syed was a 17 year old high school student at Woodlawn High School that was convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee on January 13th, 1999. Adnan is still in prison today. There is one question that has been in many peoples heads that have listened to the podcast “Serial.” Did Adnan Syed really kill Hae, or was he wrongfully convicted. Through the whole case, Adnan’s friend Jay, has testified over and over again that Adnan did kill Hae, and Adnan has testified that he did not kill her. But somewhere along the line, someone has been making up lies and I believe that that someone is Jay. I believe that Adnan is not guilty and here are some reasons why. The first reason that I believe that Adnan is not guilty is because he is …show more content…

Jay’s story has so many inconsistencies and it just doesn’t match up with the timeline. For example, the state says that Hae died 21 minutes after school got out. Based on Jay’s story and order of events of how Adnan killed Hae, you would have to do everything perfect without any mistakes. Something that I feel I should add is that Woodlawn High School is a pretty big school with around 1,500 students. That means the parking lot right after school would take a long time to get out of after school. Adnan tells Sarah Koenig in the podcast that some days it would take up to 10 minutes just to get out of the parking lot. When Sarah Koenig tested Jay’s story starting at the school to the Best Buy parking lot. When she was finished, it was just after the 21 minute limit. Yes, Jay’s story seemed ridiculous but it’s not impossible to accomplish. Jay’s story has many more inconsistencies. In Episode 4 from the Podcast, it describes many inconsistencies from Jay’s story. One of them is that the police did not know where Hae’s car was and Jay led them to the exact location of the car. Jay has also changed his story on different occasions that have changed his story dramatically and in some cases, it has hurt his case. In his first interview he says he didn’t help Adnan bury the body, but in his second interview he did help. He also lied about many other components in his story such as where he saw

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

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.

On the way to the Best Buy there are major intersections with lots of traffic at that time of day. How will he be able to strangle Hae a strong tall athletic girl, remove her from the car, carry her to the truck, and put her in there during broad day light at 2:30 in the afternoon. Then make his way to the Best Buy phone booth to call Jay to ask for assistance, but this phone booth never actually existed. It is not possible to commit the crime during this time period (Route Talk). There were no sings of struggle in the car, and along with being athletic Hae could have been able to fend for

For example, Adnan was questioned about whether he asked Hae for a ride home. To one officer, he claimed that he did do so. But, he said she wasn’t able to because she had to pick up her little cousin. Later in the investigation, Adnan had told a different officer that he did not even ask her for a ride. This seems like an extremely large slip in his story.

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.
