Adnan Syed: Innocent Or Guilty?

904 Words4 Pages

On January 13th of 1999, a High School student named Hae Min Lee was murdered and the cause of death was manual strangulation. “Who did it?” was the main question everyone had. In my opinion, I think Adnan Syed, the main person and her ex-boyfriend, was responsible for all of this because there is enough evidence to prove his guilt and if there is enough evidence, then you can prove whether or not someone is innocent or guilty. Some may say that he is innocent because he has an alibi witness, but the witness’s case does not hold up and are not reliable because they also do not match any stories. First, some evidence that can prove Adnan Syed’s guilt is Jay Wild’s testimony. Jay’s testimony plays a huge role in this case because not only was …show more content…

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 …show more content…

The Nisha call is important because not only was it a call from someone that only Adnan had known from that day, but it’s also contradicts what Adnan was doing and where he was. Adnan says that he did not have his phone on him until after track practice around 5 PM meaning he would not have been able to make that call or answer it at exactly 3:32 PM, but the call did happen. Also, cell phone tower and records do not lie which means that the call that pinged near Leakin Park was not a false alarm. Lastly, Jay’s Testimony. His testimony puts him and Adnan together making Jay’s story more valid. All of the points that Jay had made were able to be confirmed through either people or records of some

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.

    Why would Jay need to keep changing his story if he did not commit the murder. Another coincidence was that jay knew where the car was located and he described the dead body in so much detail (“The Alibi’). There is no way if you glanced at a dead body you would remember so much detail. Also, he would not have known where the car was if he had no part in the murder. Along with the evidence I listed and other inconsistent evidence not adding up, prove Adnan is just as innocent as

    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.
