Adnan is likely to be innocent because the evidences that go against him were inconsistent. Some of the inconsistencies were Jay’s credibility, the cell phone pings, the autopsy report, and the state’s conviction. First, Jay’s testimony was inconsistent because his story didn’t match with the autopsy report. Based on what Jay said at Adnan’s 2000 trial, he helped Adnan to bury Hae around 7:00p.m., which was about four and a half hours after Adnan killed her. However, according to Rabia in “Adnan Syed is Innocent and I Can Prove It: Lawyer Rabia Chaudry” by Diane Herbst, it was impossible because “the autopsy says that after she was killed, she was lying somewhere flat on her face for at least 8 to 12 hours before she was left in the park.”

Based on “5 key findings from Undisclosed that Serial missed” article by Cristina Everett, the key calls were at 7:09 p.m. and 7:16 p.m., these calls were pinged nearby where Jay said he helped Adnan to bury Hae, arounding Leaking Park area. The state claimed that the cell phone record showed that Adnan was there to bury Hae, despite the fact that the 7:09 p.m. and 7:16 p.m. were incoming calls and Adnan never picked up these phone calls. The cell phone tower could have pinged the location of the person who made those calls. From the image from Serial website, we can see that the cover page of the AT&T cell phone record stated that “ Any incoming calls will NOT be considered reliable information for location,” this could’ve helped Adnan when the state said that “... cell phone record never lied.” Some might say the state used those calls as evidence against Adnan because there wasn't any other significant evidence. If that was really the case then they could've investigated more instead of closing the case and convicted
