Adnan Syed: Guilty Or Innocent

The main source of evidence that the prosecutors used against Adnan was Jay, who by himself was not a credible informant. There were many inconsistencies in Jay’s testimony, and his side of the story changed each time he was interviewed. As well as Jay’s claims, there were many statements pointing to Adnan’s religious background being a motive for him murdering Hae

My verdict is Adnan Syed is innocent of the murder of Hae Min Lee. I reached this verdict after analyzing the evidence and determining that there was a reasonable doubt that he committed the murder. The following pieces of evidence showed he was not linked to the crime: The first piece of evidence talks about the lack of physical proof.

Adnan is probably innocent because the only solid evidence is Jay’s inconsistent testimony. The first evidence is the police audio when the first audio played jay mentions that he Adnan were at on the mall and the other audio mentions that they were at a different mall. And the second evidence is the court tapes when Adnan lawyer is questioning jay and changes his answers at the moment when jay was at the stage. And last evidence is Jay’s lack of memory because hard to believe that he forgot the day/night that he saw a dead body for the first time (Hae Min Lee’ Body)

I think that Adnan Syed killed Hae and he is guilty. Now I will give you a reason why I think Adnan is guilty. Adnan Syed is guilty because Sarah in episode 6 said that she had evidence from Cathy that states clearly that he is guilty. Adnan and Jay at the day of the crime went to this girl’s house named Cathy and she saw Adnan acting very weird. When he got a phone call he was going crazy.

In any sort of legal situation, telling the truth and only the truth is extremely important. However, for Jay Wilds, the main witness in the murder of Hae Lee, it seems that the truth was the only thing he refused to tell. For example, in Jay’s story, he tells of a very memorable “trunk pop” location. This is where Jay claims that Adnan opened the trunk of Hae’s car, showing off Hae “pretzeled up.” In one interview, Jay claimed he saw the body in front of his grandmother’s house. However, Jay said in a different interview that he saw the body in front of Best Buy. These two statements are hugely contradictory. Seeing a corpse of a friend must be an event permanently engraved in one’s mind. Yet, for some reason, Jay blatantly changed the location the trunk pop happened. That is a fairly large red flag in the case, being that Jay should remember where he was when he saw the corpse of a friend.

The second reason i believe adnan is innocent is there was no payphone at best buy.this reason makes sense because jay says this is where the calls happens.that’s where adnan call and say’s hae is dead.a qoute from the story is ‘’i get to bestbuy and adnan opens haes trunk and shows hae’s body, we ditch the body then hangout and smoke weed’’.this proves that he is innocent because why would you kill a person and then go smoke weed like nothing happen.therefore adnan is innocent because there was no

When one is guilty, it means that he or she is “culpable of or responsible for a specified wrongdoing” or, “having committed an offense, crime, violation, or wrong, especially against moral or penal law; justly subject to a certain accusation or penalty.” If someone is charged as guilty, they have broken a law or performed an unjust or immoral act to deserve punishment. However, this does not mean that through reasonable suspicion that an individual can be determined as guilty. It means that “a defendant is innocent until proven guilty. In other words, the prosecution must prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, each essential element of the crime charged.” In other words, a particular person must be proven guilty of a crime through proof and evidence. In the story provided by Serial, Sarah Koenig narrates the case of the murder of Hae Min Lee. Seventeen years ago, on January 13, Hae Min Lee, a senior at Woodlawn High School, was reported missing. Weeks later, her body is found and the cause of her death was determined to be manual strangulation. Her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Musud Syed, was convicted of her murder and sentenced to life plus thirty years in prison. The case against him was mainly based on the story of one witness, Jay Wilds. Now, past reporter and journalist, Sarah Koenig is reopening this case to find out what really happened. Through documents, police interrogations, testimonies, and interviews, she collects evidence to look for the answer.

Others think that Adnan is innocent and deserves a second chance; However, it is clear that he is guilty. Adnan is guilty because he asked for a ride from Hae the day that she was killed, he put everything on the line for Hae and got mad when he lost her, and he is someone who may be a murderer. In the first place, a solid reason why Adnan is guilty is because

Most people don’t think adnan is guilty since there isn’t enough evidence . When you start to look at all the evidence and all the stories that were told it all truly comes back onto adnan. Adnan is guilty for the crime he did because he can’t recall where he was on current day, every speech he has given it falls back on him, and most of all adnan is in every evidence that anyone gives.

Firstly, the Nisha call placed Adnan with Jay after the murder. This call could have been a butt-dial that rang for 2 minutes. The call could have been from Adnan, who wanted to make Jay talk with Nisha. The Nisha call does not prove Adnan killed Hae, as it simply just puts him with Jay at the time. Also, the prosecution stated that Adnan was constantly doing bad things. Everyone does bad things, but it does not make them murderers. Finally, Jay knew the location of Hae’s car. The fact that Jay knew the location of Hae’s car should arouse suspicion on him. The evidence utilized by the prosecution is circumstantial and can be disproved, and the lack of strong evidence proves Adnan’s

But if Adnan is truly guilty, shouldn’t Jay also go to jail as well because he was there “helping” Adnan bury the body on the day Hae disappeared? Again, Jay also promised to pick up Adnan from Best Buy specifically knowing that he could pick Adnan up from any other store other than Best Buy payphone. Secondly, there wasn’t any payphone at Best Buy because Sarah went to go talk to the landlord about this payphone and checked every blueprints and there wasn’t any payphone at that time. So that develops into a problem, after all that talking and investigating this payphone issue, Koenig and Chavvis couldn’t find any solid evidence that there ever was a payphone to begin with. After all, Jay is a merchandise man so he could have persuaded the landlord to say there wasn’t any payphone from the first time they built Best Buy, however, it wouldn’t look good on Jay because the landlord could have said that Jay was the one who bought him to say such things and Jay could’ve gone to jail right off

One piece of evidence that proves the boy’s innocence is the height of the father. This takes an effect on the evidence against the boy because he is 6 inches shorter than his father was. So it would have been harder for the boy to stab the dad it would of taking

A lot of people wonder if Adnan Syed is guilty or innocent, today as a legal assistant I'm going to tell you one important reason why he is innocent. Adnan is not guilty because there is another potential suspect like Jay. Jay's story that "proves" Adnan's guilt, has changed every interview and testimony. Jay had intimate knowledge of the crime he knew things, like if he knew every single thing that Adnan was thinking about which makes everything looked suspicious. Also Jay's stories don't quite match Adnan's cell records.

With the State’s defense crumbling without Jay’s testimony, what is the evidence against Adnan? There is physical evidence linking him to the murder, that is undisputable. So what does the state have? A palm print of Adnan’s on the back of an Atlas but not on the most incriminating page is about it for the State. If we stripped this case of Jay and all the “maybe” evidence you’re left with motive. It’s simple because Adnan didn’t have one. He was friends with Hae, Adnan was civil towards her and her new boyfriend, and he himself had already moved on as well. If we put this case back together and include all the so-called evidence then we need an alibi for
