One thing about this case is undeniably certain. Jay is somehow connected to the murder of Hae Min Lee. And I have an aching feeling that he is closer to it than he is letting on. Jay’s stories do not add up. Could be that they’re never the same, could be that his friend’s stories are fishy too, or it could be that he is trying way too hard to appear innocent.…
According to Jay's story Adnan planned this murder but this cannot be used as the only evidence to convict Adnan. Jay is a unstable unreliable source and this case is in his hand and dependent on his changing story. The detectives interview Jay and he says that no one would…
During his interrogation Jay claims that Adnan informed him beforehand that he was going to murder his ex-girlfriend and asked him to assist in burying Hae Min Lee’s body. An eye witness testimony such as this is vital in a case without any…
February 28th 1999, the life Adnan Syed once lived, would soon quickly fall apart. The 17 year old amiable, intelligent, athletic honors student that everyone loved was now behind bars, for a dreadful crime that he has been accused of committing. This atrocity being the murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee. Hae was South Korean and also attended the same high school as Adnan which was Woodlawn High School, where she played lacrosse and field hockey. Her and Adnan had broken up.…
Jay told the police that Adnan told him the plan of how he is going to murder Hae. Jay also said that Adnan showed him the body of Hae in his trunk. In the podcast, Jay says, “Because it’s not something you forget – where you were when you saw a dead body in the trunk of a car.” (Episode 4, pg 65). This explains that Adnan is guilty since Jay witness the body of Hae after Adnan murdered her.…
In this interview, Jay completely changes the location that they were at when they get the call asking about Hae being missing. This is suspicious because why would Jay lie if he say’s he’s supposedly innocent. Koenig also states“At the first trial, Jay says they both got high in Adnan's car, but the second trial, he says only he smoked and Adnan didn't want to.” (Ep. 1, p. 63). Again, Jay lies about what Adnan and him did the day of Hae Min Lee’s murder.…
Introduction On April 16th 2007 in Blacksburg, VA at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Seung-Hui Cho a senior at the university shot a total of 49 people, killing 32 of them, then proceeded to turn the gun on himself in one of the most disastrous school murder-suicides of all time. One of the most casualty producing school shootings of all time. The damage was the lives of the taken students and the psychological health of those at the university. Within this shooting there were two incidents. The first he had killed two people in a dormitory room, in West Ambler Johnston Hall, a residence housing about 900 students.…
Using real life situations, I can refer to Kentrell Gaulden, commonly known by his rap name NBA Youngboy. Growing up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Gaulden was exposed to violence and harshness of the streets at a young age. Nevertheless, after catching the attention of the nation for his unique rap style, Gaulden caught the attention of the Baton Rouge police when he was taken in for attempted murder. Thousands of people that Gaulden had inspired were left scratching their head, wondering how someone with so much potential could throw it all away. An infamous example in sports is the case of former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick.…
She mentions that one of the trials had ended in a mistrial because Jay could not get his story straight in court for the jury to hear. It was presumed that Jay had these inconsistencies to fool the cops and make them not count on him as a witness, equaling no witnesses to help Adnan not be prosecuted. One journalist for the Rolling Stones also writes…
There is too much leisure time in the way Jay has described the timeline. Also, if Jay is telling the police that he is innocent and Adnan is guilty why wipe the fingerprints and throw the clothes away. The payphone must’ve been somewhere else. Jay probably forgot how the day went for there to be leisure time. He probably did not want to be involved in the first place and did not want to go to the cops at first.…
An instance where a court had to deal with alleged misleading advertisements was in the case of M. Arthur GENSLER Jr. & Associates, Inc., Plaintiff–Appellant, v. Jay Marshall STRABALA, Defendant–Appellee, in 7th Cir. United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit. No. 12–2256, 2014-08-21. After leaving Gensler, an architectural firm with projects throughout the world, Jay Marshall Strabala started his own architectural firm named 2Define Architecture. Before his departure, Mr. Strabala held the position of a Design Director at Gensler.…
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.…
When we hear the name Adnan Syed, many questions come into mind. The most important question for many people is if he is guilty or innocent of murdering Hae Min Lee. Sarah Koenig a reporter, is trying to find the answer to this question. Sarah created a podcast called Serial where she provides evidence that supports and opposes Adnan 's innocence. There is plenty of evidence to support that he is guilty, but much more evidence saying that Adnan Syed is innocent.…
There were many things that led Chris McCandless into the wild. In my perspective, what led McCandless into the wilderness was his family problems. More imparticular, his father. The downfalls of their relationship cause many other hardships to Chris’s life. Krakauer says “Chris's smoldering anger, it turns out, was fueled by a discovery he’d made two summers earlier, during his cross-country wanderings.…
Even with all of this in mind, the court sees him as the main suspect and is not dissuaded by his normal persona. They pin him as Hae Min Lee’s killer by using the jealous boyfriend stereotype. It is also bad for his case when there are phone records and accounts of him acting strange on the day of her murder. Jay seems to be the only one that has a story that is sound enough to have Adnan as the main suspect.…
