Adnan Syed Guilty

Decent Essays
Is Adnan Syed really guilty of murdering Hae Min Lee? He was no where to be seen on August 13, 1999 between 2:15 and 2:36 p.m. Adnan had reason to kill her after he and Hae broke up a few months prior.

For instance, Adnan would have given up everything to be with Hae and breaking up with him meant that he would lose everything. In other words, Adnan got mad and killed Hae for leaving him. Adnan was known as a good liar. He also had bad character. An example of this occurs when Adnan would drink and smoke at high school party's. Believing in the a Muslim religion meant that Adnan could not date. He lied about having a girlfriend making him an untrustworthy guy. Adnan was not the only person involved in the murder of Hae Min Lee.

    In Baltimore Adnan Syed was known for the most part as the nice, sweet, charming guy that is incapable of committing murder. Where as Jay Wild was known as more of the “bad boy” dealing drugs and was someone you would not want to mess with. Some peers also noted that he was one to fabricate stories so knowing when he was telling the truth could be a hard task. With two outstanding different reputations the setting helped the audience lean in favor of the villain, Adnan. Accusing Jay of lying was an easier coping mechanism than accepting the fact someone like Adnan was capable of murder.…

    Not only that but the only person who claims to have seen him in that time frame “called one of the prosecutors in… the case…and undermined her own statement” proving his actual location was unknown at the time. It is unusual that Adnan would not remember anything about this crucial day because he received a phone call from the police. He says he does “remember that phone call and [he does] remember being high at the time” but continues to deny remembering anything else because the day was “normal”, but, receiving a phone call from the police does not seem very normal and most people would remember the events leading up to it. Another reason why Adnan is legally at fault is because he…

    The second reason I think Adnan must be innocent is because there are too many inconsistencies that Jay provides during his testimony while being interviewed by the police. Jay provides many stories, which sometimes do not match up to Adnan’s story or to the stories he provides. There were many inconsistencies that did not make sense, of which I will share the 3 that I found most important, which you can find in episode 4 called “Inconsistencies". The…

    On the back of the note she had writtensilly notes to Adnan back and forth but one thing she dosen´t remeber was that on top of the page it said ¨ I´m going to kill.¨On trial, when Asia had to read the note again but surely when she read it, she was shocked and confused of why that was there. She remembers clearly that the note was never there. Furthermore, after Adnan and Hae broke up, Hae sarted to date a guy from her job. The new boyrfriend was not accused of the crime since he did have a alilbi testify he was at work. These examples cleary show that Adnan could of had a motive since Hae Lee was well liked, she broke up with Adnan, plus Hae´s note to Adnan and on top of the page it said ¨…

    While listening to the Serial Podcasts I heard many different people voicing their opinion on whether Adnan Syed is guilty or innocent. My opinion is that he is an innocent person who was wrongly prosecuted. The whole case is built on a timeline that has many flaws, and they call it a crime of passion or crime of pride. However, they have no evidence of how Adnan might have felt. In addition, they have no physical evidence to pin on Adnan.…

    Is murder included when he says “anything”or is there a grey area. Going back to his own observations these are what make him the most questionable, Jay remembers way too many details about how Hae looked. If Jay killed Hae that would explain his extensive knowledge on the smaller details of the murder and the changes in story. The things he is sharing could quite possible be his memories that he now has to use to frame someone else unfortunately Adnan being the easy escape-go. Jay killing Hae premeditatively makes more sense she had something that jeopardized Jay’s relationship with Stephanie so her panned out how to kill her and ended up being able to frame…
