Why Adnan Is Jay

In 1999, there was a Woodlawn high school student named Hae Min Lee. She was well known as a good person. In the beginning of 1999, she had just gotten out of a relationship with Adnan Syed. On January 13, 1999, she was reported missing. She was later found in a nearby park. It was reported that she had been murdered. The time frame for that murder was from when school ended to 2:36, 21 minutes after school ended. Her ex-boyfriend was most suspected of the murder because of many small details that lead up to him. But all he had to do was prove and show where he was for those 21 minutes on January 13. That is something he could not do. Not only could he not prove where he was but he had someone saying he had done it, he had killed Hae. With …show more content…
To begin Jay story is not consistent. In episode four they talk about how he was interviewed at least six different times and each time his story shifted. This shows that Jay could be lying and should not be a factor of Adnan's conviction. Looking into the podcast, Sarah says, “In the first taped statement, Jay says he refused to help dig a grave for Hae. Two weeks later, he says they both dug the hole” (Inconsistencies). This inconsistency shows Jay could be lying about something. Meaning Jay should not be a factor of Adnan's conviction. Another piece of evidence that shows Jay is not enough proof to convict Adnan is his story of what happened that day does not fit the call long. The detectives and the people he is working with make his story fit. For example, the Nisha call and the Best buy call. The Nisha call did not fit because that would mean he would have had to have been with Adnan and he would have had to be working at the video store according to what Nisha says. That's not possible because Jay didn't start working at the video store until the end of the month which is after Jan 13, 1999. Another thing is there is no proof that there was a phone booth at the Best Buy in 1999. From this information Jay had many inconsistencies and is not enough proof to convict Adnan. Finally, Jay is not a reliable or trustworthy source. Meaning he should not be a factor of Adnan’s conviction.. To begin with, people knew him as the bad guy he sold weed to young adults still in high school and under the age. Also, why trust a guy's word who tried to hide evidence of him helping Adnan bury the body. To add on to this why trust Jay and not Asia what does Jay have that Asia does not. Asia says she saw him at the library that day and she gives the same specific details of why she remembers that day. Unlike Jay he says he knew Adnan did it, but as he tells his story
