Adnan Syed Case Study

Those who have been accused of a crime can be proven innocent with evidence through helpful witnesses. In January of 1999, Adnan Syed was accused for the murder of his ex girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, whose body was discovered in Leaken Park by a man we address as Mr.S.

The thing is, Krista admitted that she used to steal from Best Buy all the time but she knows for a fact that there is no phone booth next to the store nor inside of it. None of Jay’s story adds
