Adnan And Hae Case Study

956 Words4 Pages

"Innocent until proven guilty." That’s always been the law, so why was Adnan Syed sentenced 25 years to life without parole? January 13th 1999 Hae Min Lee goes missing. Friends and family described her as beautiful, smart, responsible, and athletic (she played Lacrosse and hockey). On February 9th Haes' body was found in Leaken Park by a maintenance man. Her cause of death was ruled as manual strangulation. Adnans friends and family were all surprised when Adnan (Hae's ex boyfriend) was arrested for her murder. Everyone described their relationship as " a normal high school relationship." The couple loved each other they had normal high school arguments but always made up and were back in love. When the couple broke up it was pretty much mutual. Many said it wasn’t a "nasty or bad break up, it was very …show more content…

I believe the court system made a mistake and put the wrong guy in prison. There was never enough concrete evidence to place Adnan at the scene of the crime. However, Adnan's friend/weed dealer, Jay, claims that Adnan told him that he was going to kill Hae. Jay even goes as far to say that he helped Adnan bury Hae's body, says he just didn’t remember where they buried her. Yet Jay only got 2 years of probation. The police said they gathered enough evidence on Adnan to prove that he was the one who killed Hae. Evidence meaning they found Adnans prints in her car, using testimony, and since Adnan could not remember where he was at the exact moment of Hae's death. He said he might have been at track practice. Koening looks at the phone records, maps out the route that Jay says they made the night of Hae's death. The phone records were correct but still a

    Even with Jay’s testimony, I don't believe that Adnan Syed should have been convicted of murder on such little evidence. The state’s motive for Adnan is based on Muslim stereotypes and no real evidence. They say that when Hae broke up with Adnan she besmirched his honor, forcing him to have to kill her to regain it. Adnan has shown many times that he doesn’t follow strict Muslim rules by dating multiple girls, partying, and even smoking marijuana.

    On January 13, 1999, Hae Min Lee was reported missing and later found dead in Leakin park in Baltimore . Adnan Syed, Hae Min Lee’s ex boyfriend was convicted of the murder then sentenced to life on the charge of 1st degree murder. Jay Wilds was the witness for the trial that stated that Adnan had killed Hae, and both Adnan and himself had buried the body. Adnan’s lawyer for this trial was Christina Gutierrez who failed to use the only alibi for Adnan, Asia McClain, and go through DNA evidence on Hae. I believe Adnan Syed should be granted a second trial, because of the competence of his attorney.

Except for the part of how could this be an ordinary day, Adnan claimed to be very close with Hae how would you not remember the day of her disappearance. This day should be engraved in your brain for awhile at least six weeks I would say. Adnan’s only claims was to be with Asia, Jay’s girlfriend and Hae’s friend at the time and she was nowhere to be found during the court hearings and investigation.

    Adnan Masud Syed, 19, was convicted of murder that sentenced him in prison for life on June 20, 2000. Mr. Syed was accused of strangling his ex girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, 18, and burying her body in Leakin Park on January 13th, 1999. The body was eventually uncovered and Adnan became the primary suspect after an anonymous call was made to the police a few weeks after the crime to investigate Adnan. The prosecutors had stated that Adnan’s motive of murdering Hae was because he was hurt and outraged when they broke up. To counter, the defense attorney had claimed that Adnan was an average American teen, incapable of murder, and he was an honors student at Woodlawn High School.

    The state uses Jay as their key witness in the case against Adnan, but Jay's story changed where Adnan showed him Haes body. Jay says in one of his testimonies that Adnan showed him Haes body in the Best Buy parking lot, then he changes it in his testimony to “I went to pick him up from off of Edmondson Avenue at a strip and he, uh, popped the trunk open and…”(Serial 05.17). Jay was a friend of Adnan’s: they smoked weed and hung out together. The day of the murder according to Jay was that he picked up Adnan after he killed Hae and left her in the trunk of her car. This is where the two different places that he mentioned where Adnan showed Jay Hae’s body is the Best Buy parking lot and a strip off of Edmondson Avenue are important because these places aren’t similar either, one is a tech store and the other is an outdoor drug market.

    Nothing out of the ordinary happened that day. Lastly, there wasn’t enough witnesses that heard Adnan was leaving with Hae that day. There is not enough evidence to convict him of that murder. Primarily, because the only witness they have on Adnan is Jay. Many people have their droughts on Jay people believe he killed Hae Lee.

    In Sarah Koenig’s view, “Was he so hurt that he decided to kill her?” This is talked about a lot asking how hurt Adnan would have been to kill Hae. Young couples often go through breakups, but this one lead to the death of the girlfriend. Obviously Adnan felt hurt and so was his pride, but according to Adnan and their friends they loved each other. It does not make sense that he would hurt this girl that he loved.

  • 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.

This is like saying because someone didn’t cry at a funeral, they killed the person.

    Asia claimed she saw him the day of the murder in the library while she was with her boyfriend and boyfriend’s friend. She also claims that they had a conversation that day. Also, he could be innocent because Jay’s testimony had multiple inconsistencies. For instance, in Jay’s testimony he talked about how he and Adnan went up to Patapsco State Park to smoke and that's when Adnan and him talked about Hae, but when he testified in court, the whole story on it disappeared like it never happened. Because of these inconsistencies, Jay is not a reliable source at all and should not be the main determining factor in whether or not Adnan is

    Putting these circumstances aside, it was said by many that the relationship was pretty typical and Adnan got over the breakup easily. This was said by teachers and friends of both Hae and Adnan. One of Hae’s friends, Becky, explained the relationship as “just a silly, teenage, high school, relationship” (Koenig “The Breakup”) which proves that Adnan was not as upset as the prosecution made him out to be at trial. Another notable aspect is that after Hae and Adnan broke up, Hae got in a small car accident and asked Adnan to come help her, her new boyfriend Don also showed up and confirms that him and Adnan had a cordial meeting and explains that they talked for 10 to 15 minutes even after the car situation had been figured out (Koenig “What We Know”). If Adnan was really that broken up about the breakup, he would not have been so friendly towards the new guy who seemed to take his place in Hae’s life.

    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.
