Why Is Jay Wilds The Only Evidence For Hae's Murder

199 Words1 Page

I believe Jay Wilds is a prime example of with the law for the reason that in the beginning he doesn’t say anything about what happens the day of Hae’s murder. Then, a few weeks past and he tells the story of what happened, how and why Adnan wanted to kill her, helping him bury his body and tells everything went down in the Best Buy parking lot. I believe Jay lied to the police to help himself because he didn’t want to deal with the consequences. I think he was involved in Hae’s murder for the reason being because there was more evidence linking Jay to the murder than Adnan although the only evidence towards Adnan is Jay. In serial episode 4, “Inconsistencies”, Jennifer, Jay’s friend discusses the night of Hae’s murder and what really went

    Jay had several inconsistencies, some are major, and some, perhaps minor. The ones that stands out the most are appalling, such as the fact that he openingly stated to police and jury that he will lie avoiding criminal punishment. In one occasion with the police, he said Adnan “knows I sold drugs… he could get me locked up for that.” In further interviews, there are times when he would say Adnan asked him one day ago, same day, and even four to five days ago to help assist him in such murder. When asked where Adnan killed Hae, there were several different responses, including Best Buy, Woodlawn Public Library, and Patapsco State Park, which haven’t been brought up since.

    The interview with The Intercept was meant for Jay to come out and explain what he witnessed at the time of the murder. Jay agreed to the interview to clear his name since the exposure from the Serial podcast has brought unwanted publicity to both Jay and his family. In this interview Jay talked about some very important topics in this interview and some of these topics actually work in Adnan’s favor even though it was not intended to be that way. Throughout the case Jay has been known to have a various amount of inconsistencies in his testimony. For example, In one interview with police he tells them Adnan showed him Hae's body on Edmonson Avenue and in another interview with police he tells them it was at a Best Buy.

    Jay’s story shifts from statement to statement, and from trial to trial. It’s not the calm recollection of an involved party, but the remorseless web of lies from a guilty man. For example, at first Jay says he didn’t help Adnan bury Hae, then he says that he did. In his first statement Jay tells police that Adnan only

  • Was Adnan Syed Guilty Responsible For The Death Of Hae?

    On February 9, 1999 Hae Min Lee was found in Leakin Park, Baltimore, Maryland with signs of manual strangulation. The state claimed that Adnan Syed, Hae’s former boyfriend at the time was responsible because they believed he was enraged of their relationship ending. My claim is Adnan Syed is likely not responsible for the death of Hae Min Lee, because there was insufficient evidence to prove he was guilty and the trial was unfair, it was based more on his racial background than the actual case itself. Adnan can be proved innocent with Don’s odd alibi and suspicions.

    During this time Sarah is talking to a detective named Jim Trainum who was looking through Jay's stories and was concerned about the inconsistencies in Jay's story. When Sarah is talking to detective Jim, She brings up a very good fact that “Jay had a big piece of reliable information that the cops themselves did not know. Where Hae’s car was”. Jay ended up showing the cops right where the car was. If Jay was not involved in murdering Hae Lee or being an accomplice, then how would he have known where her car was parked?

    The real reason all eyes were on Adnan was due to Jay’s testimony. However, there were plenty of inconsistencies that were, in my opinion, too easily forgotten. At first, he says he helped bury the body, then during the second interview he had nothing to do with that. Who knows what his actual role in the murder was and whether he was framing Adnan. He did after all give the police the motive for the murder.

    Ultimately, Wilds was changing his narrative of what occurred on January 13, 1999. Whether the changes were intentional or a fluke it is very important to consider why the justice system did not scrutinize these inconsistencies. An essential piece of evidence Jay has modified through his testimonies is, ”In the first statement he says Adnan mentions it that same day, January 13, while they’re driving Adnan back to school at lunchtime. In the second taped statement he says Adnan told him the night before and also that Adnan had been talking about it for four or five days already. When he testifies at trial though, he goes back to the first version that he first heard about it from Adnan on the thirteenth,” (in-text citation).

  • Adnan Is Innocent

    These two reasons are all that a person should need to believe that Adnan didn't have enough motive, or time, to kill Hae. Jays testimony sets the timeline and proves there is enough evidence, which is not presented by Adnan’s lawyer, to say Adnan is innocent by a straying story. The time period where Hae could've been killed does not match Adnan’s timeline. Jay, who is a convicted felon, was the only witness and is trusted to give a good story. Cristina Gutierrez, who was Adnan’s lawyer, had medical issues that distracted her from using useful information in his case.

  • 1999 Murder Case Of Adnan Syed: Far From Guilty

    737 Words  | 3 Pages

    Serial, a weekly podcast, revisits the 1999 murder case of Hae Min Lee, a senior at Woodlawn High School in Baltimore, and her former boyfriend convicted of the crime, Adnan Syed. In the United States, the law says that someone is innocent until proven guilty and with certain evidence presented in the podcast, Adnan is far from guilty. Serial brings to light new evidence that could answer the question of Adnan Syed’s wrongful imprisonment. With the inconsistency of Jay Wilds incriminating testimony, the irrational judgments by the police based on behavior and the possibility of the involvement of corrupt detectives, newly gathered evidence could prove that Adnan Syed is innocent.

    Although Jay claims to be Adnan’s friend, he was the first person to blame Adnan. Then, he gives several statements to the police, but they continuously change. One difference is, in the beginning, he called himself “the criminal aspect of Woodlawn”, but later he claims that he “only got arrested once” (Koenig, “Inconsistencies”). It’s understandable that he would want to remove his first statement because it makes him look more like a suspect. Next, comes his lie about both of the boys getting high.

    She states “A year after Adnan was arrested and the case came to trial, Jay walked up to the witness stand. There’s a moment when Adnan muttered something to him” (45). By Adnan calling Jay pathetic he showed that he couldn’t believe Jay would rat him out. This incident shows that Adnan is a liar and is mad at Jay for going to the police, showing that he is guilty. Even after controlling himself through the whole case he snapped when he saw the man that betrayed him.

  • Adnan Syed: Guilty Of Murdering Hae

    Of course, many people think Adnan Syed is guilty of murdering Hae by contradicting himself, by saying, “I am in here for my own mistakes.” He might have been on the edge of confessing his guilt until Sarah caught this and asked what he meant, and quickly recovers from his mistake. Adnan also slips his tongue by saying that he wants people to only look at the evidence, and not his personality. If I were convicted of a crime I would certainly like to have my personality be looked at, if I were innocent. So they could see what good I have done.
