Adnan Syed: The Murder Of Hae Min Lee

612 Words3 Pages

Imagine everything in life is going great. You’re at your friend’s house just hanging out when you get a call. Not a good call either. You’re ex-girlfriend went missing; then, she was found dead. The police think you did it. That’s what happens to Adnan Syed. Adnan was convicted of the murder of Hae Min Lee 6 weeks after she went missing. On January 13, 1999, Hae Min Lee went missing, and on February 9, 1999, her body was found in Leakin Park in Baltimore. Adnan Syed is guilty of killing Hae Min Lee, but there isn’t enough evidence to convict him of murder. The day Hae went missing, where was Adnan. According to Adnan, he was at track practice while Jay has his phone, but his call log says a call was made at 3:32 to a girl named Nisha. …show more content…

Adnan says it was just a normal day to him. During one of his interviews, Adnan talks about it was normal for him to leave school to do something and then come back and go to track practice ( Koenig, “The Breakup”). If your ex-girlfriend went missing you would think that you would remember what had happened that day, but that 's not the case with Adnan. Adnan has at least some idea of what he did but he isn’t 100% sure that 's what he did, which in a way makes him look guilty because he doesn’t remember what happened that day.
I understand from listening to Jay’s story that he has changed what he had said many times and some of what he had changed is a big deal. From that point of view, I can see why people may think that Adnan is innocent, but most of what Jay had said, matched up to what the evidence had shown which makes Adnan look guilty.
From this evidence it makes Adnan look bad, but from listening to Jay 's story it doesn’t seem that the police had gone into much detail as to which they should have to find out if Adnan had really been the killer. They should release Adnan until they find further information on if he really is guilty or turns out he’s innocent. I believe that the police should go further into the case to find more evidence before they actually convict Adnan Syed of

And Jim Trainum, the detective hired by the Serial staff, tells Sarah that “the detectives in this case were cautious and methodical. They weren’t rushing to grab suspects or to dismiss them either. The evidence collection was well documented,” and that the case is “better than average” (Ep. 8, Jim).

Although I believe that Omar Khadr was guilty of the 5 war crime charges against him because of his confession, he should have had a fair trial regarding his crimes. One of the charges was for the murder of Christopher Speer, a U.S. soldier, during the battle in Afghanistan. In an interview with the National Post, Khadr explained the situation and how he felt before throwing the grenade. “I was thinking, ‘What should I do…?’

    When Sarah says “ The state said Adnan was guilt-ridden about lying to his family about Hae “ ( Koenig “Serial” episode 2 ) This shows that Adnan had feelings about how he kept keeping his relationship a secret between his friends and family. Adnan being “ Guilt-ridden” could have caused him to be so frustrated it led to violence after the break up which could have also led to Hae’s death. Not only did he affect his relationship with Hae but with his parents who could have lost Adnan’s trust by not telling his parent also got him more frustrated to the limit to where there is violence. Another thing that may have got Adnan to be so violent was Adnan lying and feeling so guilty that he couldn’t take it

    Nisha, in this case, only has connections with Adnan which is what puts him in such a bad spot. In episode 5, there was a call that was answered a little later in the day that pinpointed Adnan’s, or at least the phone’s, location which was near Leakin’ Park which was where Hae’s body was found. It was also said that Adnan had rung Jay up when he was about to confront Hae and after Hae was murdered so Jay could pick him up. These reasons were the most complicated to answer and the hardest to justify when it came to Adnan’s case, especially because he had no recollection of any of these things at the time and certainly not now. Still, there’s a lot of things that don’t make sense about these calls, and could refute the

  • Explain Why Adnan Syed Was Responsible For The Murder Of Hae Min Lee

    598 Words  | 3 Pages

    The first reason that I think that Adnan Syed is responsible of the murder of Hae Min Lee is because the palm print that was found on the map book that the police found in Hae's car. The map book that was found in Hae's had adnan´s palm print on the back and there was a page of the book that was ripped. This palm print could've been there for a long time, but that means that Adnan has been in Hae's car. The ripped page was the page that showed Leakin park, but it also showed the rest of the town, "At trial they pointed out that it was the page that showed Leakin Park" (serial, S1, E6, pg 85). The ripped out page showed a whole lot more than just Leakin Park."

    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.
