Adnan Syed Guilty

1273 Words6 Pages

Abby G. Burke Mrs.Sargeant English 12 3 April 2023 Is Adnan Syed guilty? On January 13, 1999, an 18-year-old girl by the name of Hae Min Lee went missing. One month later, on February 9th, her body was found in Leakin Park in Baltimore, Maryland. After an autopsy, it was determined that Hae was strangled to death. Adnan Syed, Hae’s ex-boyfriend, was convicted of the murder and was sentenced to life in prison. Throughout the Serial Podcast, we are shown many different points of view of whether or not Adnan Syed was guilty or innocent. I believe that Adan Syed is guilty of murdering Hae Minn Lee because he doesn’t recall or remember much of what happened the day she went missing, and his location of where he was that day and what he was doing …show more content…

“The most incriminating piece of physical evidence against Adnan Syed was a fingerprint, or rather, a palmprint. On a map (Sarah Koenig-Serial- 128)”. There was one page ripped out from this map and come to find it was the page that showed Leakin Park and more places like their neighborhood, the malls, the school, and other places they drove 90 percent of the time. Although Adnan’s fingerprint or palm print wasn’t found on this page I can not help but wonder why this page would be ripped out. From my point of view, I see this as a very suspicious piece of evidence towards Adnan. It just so happens to be a page that shows Leaking Park, which is where Hae was buried. Now that is weird. Another thing that was brought to my attention was how Hae was killed, through manual strangulation. Adnan was an EMT and knew how to strangle someone and had the training to know how to revive someone if he needed to. Could Adnan have been heartbroken over the breakup? Could it have pushed him over the edge but no one knew? These questions circle through my head when I think about how Hae was killed knowing Adnan knew how to strangle someone. Here is a friend, Aisha, she states, “Classmate and best friend of Hae. Remembers Adnan being possessive with Hae (People Map).” If Adnan was possessive of Hae like Aisha said, he could have been so heartbroken and mad after the breakup that he wanted revenge. I am not saying this is what happened, this is just my thoughts and

    In conclusion, Adnan is innocent because of how short the time frame of Hae’s death and school ending was, how Adnan barely can remember anything from the day of her disappearance, and because of Asia McClain’s testimony. Even though Adnan wasn’t the perfect Muslim son, he is overall innocent because at the time, everyone else was doing what Adnan was doing. He was a normal teenager, living a normal teenager life. In the end, Adnan is still very much innocent but he still faced life in prison. Unfortunately, there are times when bad things happen to good people.

    These people say that since Hae broke up with Adnan and that was enough reason to want her dead. However, Adnan was a smart kid who would realize that killing someone for breaking up with you is not a valid reason. Adnan was not hurt enough to kill Hae; he was devastated when she died and he didn't know about it when he was told. Also, they say that Adnan had enough time to kill Hae. What this opinion fails to take into account is that Asia saw Adnan at the library around the same time of the murder and she was never used in court as an alibi (Koenig, “The Best Defense is a Good Defense”).

    One of Adnan’s best friends Saad stated in episode 2 of the podcast named “The Breakup” that Adnan had been talking to and dating multiple other girls and was “a player” just a month after him and Hae broke up, which shows that he was in no way obsessed with Hae and therefore had no reason to want to kill her. It has been argued by Hae’s friend Aiesha that the relationship was slightly obsessive on Adnan’s part, but since the couple had to keep their relationship a secret from their families as explained earlier, they wanted to be sure they spent as much time as possible together. Although some behaviors exhibited during the relationship seemed slightly overpowering, overall Hae and Adnan had a very typical relationship and there is no proof that the breakup was anything but a normal high school split, which gives absolutely no reason for anyone to believe Adnan would have killed Hae because
