The murder of Hae Min Lee has always been a very mysterious case that leads to millions of dead ends. There is few evidence of anyone doing it, but Adnan Syed was ultimately convicted for the murder of Hae Min Lee. Adnan Syed was the ex-boyfriend of Hae and some say he wanted revenge by killing her with his bare hands, but Adnan can’t defend himself because he has no recollection of that day. They are all wrong, because Adnan Syed is innocent. First of all, Adnan does not have a good motive for killing Hae. The state says that Adnan’s motive was that he was very angry about their breakup and this drove him to lots of emotional pain and eventually the murder.

Jay was Adnan’s drug dealer and friend. According to Jay, Adnan popped the trunk open of his car and showed Jay the dead, strangled body. He says Adnan was proud of killing Hae. Jay says during a police interview, “I noticed that Hae wasn't with him. I parked next to him. He asked me to get out the car. I get out the car. He asks me, am I ready for this? And I say, ready for what? And he takes the keys. He opens the trunk. And all I can see is Hae's lips are all blue, and she's pretzeled up in the back of the trunk. And she's dead….

Jay describes how he saw Hae “pretzeled up in the back of the trunk” the day that Hae was killed. He also clearly states that he saw her in the trunk and he knows what he saw. The easiest way to counter his statements is he is a drug dealer. You never trust a drug dealer even if you think he is telling the truth because he is involved in illegal activity all the time. As you can see, Jay is not a reliable resource and should not be trusted considering his illegal activities. In brief, Adnan Syed is not guilty because he has an alibi, no motivation for the murder, and the witnesses of the murder are not reliable. Many people have tried to prove Adnan guilty or innocent, but overall there is more proof of him being innocent than there is guilty. Adnan’s murder was either meticulously thought out or it was just a matter of bad luck for Adnan. This murder involved lots of dead ends and problems, but eventually Adnan came out
