Imagine not ever again being able to see your family or going back to your house. This is the case for Adnan Syed, the defendant in the murder case “Serial”, which involves Adnan, and his friend Jay, and the victim Hae Min Lee. This podcast is produced by Sarah Koenig who investigated this case for a period of time. Forgetful Adnan’s religion supports the idea that he killed Hae Min Lee along with multiple story inconsistencies.
Adnan’s religion influenced his actions to kill Hae Min Lee. Let’s begin by stating that Adnan is a muslim which in their faith does not allow them to date other people outside of their religion.

Sarah Koenig asks Adnan, “would not the call from Officer Adcock make it not a normal day?” (Koenig, “The Case Against Adnan Syed”). That is a huge detail from this day because usually you would remember a day that a cop calls you. You would remember where you were, what you were doing, who you were with. In fact Koenig says “you were young, you were high, it is a scary call to get.” (Koenig, “The Case Against Adnan Syed”). In case you did not know, Adnan smokes weed which some could believe why he does not in fact remember the call from the police. But contrary to that, he should not have been able to tell that he was high if he could remember that but not the call. Adnan comes right out and tells us “I do remember being high at the time because the craziest thing is to be high and have the police call your phone. I will never forget that.” (Koenig, “The Case Against Adnan Syed”). Being able to remember this detail but not being able to recall anything us from the day can lead us to believe that he killed Hae on this day and he is trying to cover up for it by
