Koenig's Dying Case Study

Adnan Syed is accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend, and various factors present him as a very likely suspect. Information put together by the state don’t add up, but instead prove he is innocent. Is Adnan guilty or innocent for his ex-girlfriend’s death? In the Serial Podcast, journalist Sarah Koenig discusses the case, committed almost seventeen years ago, and uncovers new evidence that indicates Adnan’s innocence. Adnan Syed has been viewed as a boyfriend, honor roll student, and a murderer. Many described him as a smart, flirtatious, and a likable high schooler. On January 13, 1999, his ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, was murdered. Investigators immediately assumed Adnan as the primary suspect because Hae had broken up with him, a month

The podcast “serial” by Sarah Koenig, the narrator, is about the murder of Hae min Lee, an 18 year old high school student, who was murdered by her ex boyfriend, Adnan Syed. However she encounters evidence that may say otherwise. Adnan is guilty of the crime because his stories had inconsistencies like about the car ride, the day Hae went missing, and how he took the breakup.

The case of Adnan Syed became very popular after the journalist Sarah Koenig made a podcast with her group and collected all the information that related to Syed’s case. Sarah and her team made many interviews with Syed’s friends and the people who related to the case. The trial convicted that Syed had killed his ex-girlfriend. Many of Syed’s friends believe that Syed is not guilty. Also, many people who did not personally know Syed and read the case about him think he was not guilty. Other people see he involved in the case, so he is guilty. There are many doubts about the court's decision to imprison Syed lifetime. These doubts made this case mysterious. Syed may be not guilty if the detective, prosecutor, and the jury

Given Adnan's prior calls to Hae, this lack of communication had added suspicions about his potential involvement in her murder, as he avoids and distances himself from her after the crime. This is quite a notable change in behavior, aligning with the timeline of the murder and disappearance. It is recognizable that Jay could be an unreliable source being that “Jay has told his story six

The podcast Serial, hosted by Sarah Koenig, follows the riveting murder mystery of Hae Min Lee, a well-loved senior at Woodlawn High School. The prime suspect was her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, with whom she had broken up prior to her death. Throughout the series, Koenig analyzes court transcripts and investigates the prosecution’s evidence in order to determine whether or not Syed’s incarceration was justified. Due to the absence of physical evidence and numerous inconsistencies in the state’s allegations, Adnan Syed is innocent in the murder of his ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee.

One hole is Jay Wilds’ interview. Jay allegedly helped Adnan bury Hae’s body. The police did not have any supporting evidence just Jay’s testimony. It was as though Jay’s word was more reliable than Adnan’s. If a onlooker only heard parts of Serial, they would think that Jay and Adnan were best friends. However, that was not the case. In the words of Jay, they did not have a “real friendship.” (Vargas-Cooper, "Exclusive: Jay, Key Witness from 'Serial' Tells His Story for First Time, Part 1”) They just smoked together about two or three times. If that is true, why would Adnan ask someone who is not his “real friend” to help him bury a body? Or even mention to Jay that he was going to kill Hae? There is some suggested evidence that Jay could have been prejudice against magnet students at Woodlawn High School. Adnan was a magnet student. Jay said that he resented the school because the school added a magnet wing and received better stuff. He said, “ These people [magnet students] were different from us, and they didn’t have to interact with us…but their gym, lockers, parking, was down in the magnet wing. And I found that to be a bit of slap in the face.” (Vargas-Cooper, "Exclusive: Jay, Key Witness from 'Serial' Tells His Story for First Time, Part 1”) It could be that Jay was jealous of Adnan that he framed Adnan for the murder of Hae. The justice system seems to just let

Richard died on December 5,1991,Joliet Illinois because of a heart attack after 25 years in prison.On June 6,1969,Judge Paschen gave Richard speck Death by electric chair.However,the supreme court overturn his sentences,sending Richard to Stateville Penitentiary for 4oo-1,200 years,the longest sentence anyone had reveive at the time.

The criminal justice system is meant to protect the innocent, and punish those who are guilty of a crime. However, no system is perfect, and as a result, sometimes the innocent become victims of the system that was meant to protect them. How exactly do these innocent people become victims of the system? Sometimes the person gets framed, and the crime scene is staged to point a finger at them. Sometimes, there is no strong physical evidence against them, yet circumstantial evidence is used by the crown to put them away. This happened to a 17 year old boy named Adnan Syed in Baltimore, Maryland, who was imprisoned for life, for the alleged murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Lee. Throughout the Serial podcast, Sarah Koenig is able to critically analyze information which proves Adnan’s innocence. Firstly, Asia’s letters gave Adnan an alibi for the time of the murder. Secondly, Adnan’s innocence can be demonstrated through the lack of any strong evidence and the prosecution’s use of circumstantial evidence which can be disproved. Thirdly, Jay’s constantly changing testimony is not credible evidence of Adnan’s guilt, making him innocent.

once upon a time there was a little boy named Timmy, Timmy was scared, there was an epidemic Going around that could devastate whole cities in the matter of days, he was in one of which. The disease was spreading so rapidly, the speed it was going can make a car look like it's trekking. Timmy was in fear for his life with his family, momma Rose, and poppa Bobby. The news reports estimate about 1000 people die an hour world wide, and it had spread to their city. The disease evicted people from their homes. One day the news had a precise way on how the disease was spreading, they weren't being impartial about it, the shared it with all other nations and everyone and country. they thought it was irrelevant, not knowing how deadly this disease

As has been noted, the past relationship and breakup had a big part in Adnan’s conviction, however according to many people, this doesn’t add up.

Grien was known for his morbid and sensual works. He often showed witches; he was known for his obsession with them and may be why he also loved to portray Death. Toward the end of his life, Baldung increasingly represented secular subjects, reflecting the Reformation's constraints on religious art.

It was less than a decade ago that Knut came into our lives, stole our hearts with his adorable self and became a media phenomenon spawning soft toys, books and songs. Four years later, on March 19th, 2011, he collapsed and died, leaving the world heartbroken. We now know what caused his death.

The speech I chose to analyze this week is called “A Short Speech About Death” by a youtuber named Sloan Struble. In this speech, Sloan managed to convinced people that despite how death makes people realize that life will eventually comes to an end at one point, it is truly just a way to show that our lives have purposes.

The Serial podcast, hosted by Sarah Koenig, is about the murder of young Woodlawn High School student Hae Min Lee. Hae was a smart, ambitious, and outgoing young lady taken from this world too soon. Sarah Koenig and the podcast takes us through the ins and outs of typical and unusual teenager behavior to try and uncover something unseen in this case. Adnan Syed, the now convicted murder, and Jay Wilds, the state’s only witness, are the key people of this story. I believe Adnan’s innocence should be maintained because Jay’s story should not have been used for evidence, there was not enough evidence to even arrest Adnan, and Adnan had a trustworthy alibi.
