Imagine being an 18 year old high school student. You’re madly in love with the girl of your dreams and everything is great. Then, all of a sudden, bang, out of nowhere you get dumped. You are so angry at this girl for breaking your heart, you strangle her. It’s awful, right? This anecdote is actually a reality for Adnan Syed, murderer of Hae Min Lee. In the podcast Serial, produced by Sarah Koenig, the murder of Hae Min Lee is evaluated in depth. Jay Wilds, an acquaintance of Adnan’s, was the lead witness in the murder case, and he is the main reason why Adnan currently sits in the Maryland Correctional Facility. Jay’s timeline matches Adnan’s call log which proves an unusually calm and alibi-less Adnan killed Hae Min Lee.
A call placed from Adnan’s phone known as the Nisha call distinguishes Adnan’s guilt because it correlates with Jay’s timeline. During the time Jae supposedly had Adnan’s phone, the cell had seven outgoing calls. Six out of those seven calls were to people Jay knew, but the seventh call was to someone unknown to Jay.

In conclusion, Adnan Syed is guilty of murder for numerous reasons. Three incriminating pieces of evidence are the Nisha call, the fact that Adnan has no alibi, and Mr. Syed’s reaction to the whole situation. Overall, Jay’s timeline matches Adnan’s call log which proves an unusually calm and alibi-less Adnan killed Hae Min
