Recently, I foucused on the famous podcast serial that a teenager, Hae Min Lee was killed in January, 1999. Hae’s ex-boyfriend Adnan Syed, the convicted murder has gone in the jail suffering the life sentences for about fifteen years. As the new investigation started, more and more factual evidences and testimonies testified that Adnan was still the most potential murder for Hae’s case.
The motive for Adnan murder Hae was Hae broke up with Adnan. Adnan and Hae were a sweet couple before, however, Hae made a decision to break up with Adnan and gave him a letter said that lots of the people break up all the time, Adnan did not respect her decision. Adnan felt sad especially a week later. Hae started to date her new boy-friend, don. Adnan showed

When Adnan was in Hae'a car, he found a priority chance to strangle Hae, and then he called jay drive to school picking up him and buried Hae's body. After that, they went to Cathy's home. In Adnan's testimony, he stated that he did not stay with jay at that time because he was going to buy a birth day gift to jay's girl-friend, Sephanie. The star witness, Jay proofed that Adnan showed Hae's body to him and they buried the body. The opposing view of Adnan was murder said that Jay's testimony had changed several times, his story was incredible. Nevertheless, a witness, Cathy testified that Adnan and Jay went to her house at 6, and she saw Adnan was strange and nervous. After a few minutes Adnan hot a call said that he had to go or do something. Moreover, Jenn, Jay's friend mentioned that she had ever call Jay, Adnan picked up the phone telling her that Jay was busy and nor hanged the phone to Jay. In addition, through the retrial, Aisha and Cathy's stories matched the cell phone records. This prosecution testified that the timeline matched Jay's story. In short, all the evidences testified that Adnan murder
Jay knew things that he wasn’t telling the cops or he was simply hiding something. Wouldn’t it be better to just tell the truth rather than make up a whole bunch of different stories? Some might think that Adnan was the cause of Hae Min Lee’s death because he was her ex-boyfriend and he had a motive to kill her. However, the night Hae went missing Adnan still tried to make sure she was ok and hung out with people that kept trying to check up on her. For example, in Serial it says “Adnan called her house 3 times to check to see if she was okay because she didn’t pick up her cousin that day”.
From witnesses, call records and Jay’s interview and testimony, there is enough evidence to prove that Adnan is guilty. After Adnan and Hae’s breakup they still continued to be friends. When Adnan asks for a ride as heard from their friends, Hae declines his request. Supporting evidence 2: As Jay was interview he claimed that Adnan had killed Hae. Since Jay was a witness to this crime, he had told Jennifer Pusateri about it.
He tells the police that Adnan, did in fact, kill Hae. Jay also helped take her body to Leakin Park to help bury it; making Jay an accomplice. This was the police’s main lead in the entire investigation. The story seemed some what legit for the most part. Plus, it was the only thing they could really go on.
However Jay is as much of a suspect as Adnan. Jay has lied multiple times and changes his story everytime he speaks to the police. For example, “They weren't super close, but they had mutual friends. Jay sold weed, and he and Adnan smoked together. The story Jay told police had problems, because it kept changing from telling to telling” (“The Alibi”).
A phone call to Nisha a contact in Adnan's phone was made an hour after after Hae was murdered, this call lasted a couple of minutes. When asked to Adnan what was this call about he simply said he didn’t know. He also says that Jay had his car and cell phone at that moment and might had pocket-dialed. When asked Jay he says he didn’t even know who Nisha was and says that he was with Adnan when he made this call. When asked Nisha she says she did not have a voicemail but rather said that she recalled speaking to Adnan and Jay through the phone while Adnan was hanging out at the video store where Jay worked.
Sarah states, “ If I’m Adnan and I need to be seen for track, I’m freaking out right now, that I need to get back for track to have an alibi.” “But, it is possible. Or at least not impossible, which was what Adnan was saying in that first letter.” These quotes explain Adnan is innocent because if he had killed Hae before Jay said they went to the park to smoke weed, why would Adnan want to go far from school if he knew he had a track practice to go to? The route Jay was explaining could have been possible, but everything had to have been the right time and right movements to prove it.
He stated it himself whilst describing their relationship to Sarah from the prison phones, and Christina said that this should have been brought up during the investigation as a more “troubling” aspect of Jay and Adnans relationship. In
Usually, nothing significant happens in your day, so you don’t remember it down the line. For example, would you be able to tell me what you have for breakfast last Wednesday? Could you tell me what you did in the afternoon two Saturdays ago? Since nothing particular stands out in my life, I couldn’t tell you. Adnan Syed however, had an extremely eventful day January 13, 1999 considering his ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee was gruesomely murdered.
The case of Hae Min Lee was originally only prominent within Baltimore County of Maryland. It has the trappings of a typical high school murder; a teen is angry at their ex-boyfriend/girlfriend for breaking up with them and as a result, would murder them. However, the case has gained international attention largely due to the investigations from ‘Serial’, which revealed an abnormal number of inconsistencies within the case against Adnan Syed, allowing Syed to be granted a new trial. Based on evidence that is present, Adnan is most likely innocent of the murder of Hae Min Lee because of the lack of concrete physical evidence that would signify his guilt. After all, if there is no physical evidence that would prove a suspect’s involvement in
Jay told the police one story but then in court, he does a 180 and tells a different story. Jay was trying to make it seem that he was kept in the dark until the day of the murder. This connects jay to the murder because If he knew about it days before that means he helped plan and execute the murder which makes it a premeditated murder. Furthermore, In a different interview, Jay talks about where he picked Adnan up and where he says Hae’s body. Jay calms “ I went to pick him up from off of Edmondson Ave at the strip and he, uh, popped the trunk open”, then Jay recalls a conversation with Adnan were Adnan declares “Um, that bitch is dead come and get me, I’m at best buy.”
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.
However, the beginning ends with detectives interviewing Jay, an acquaintance of Adnan, who claims that Adnan repeatedly spoke about murdering Hae, and called him when he had supposedly
According to Serial, the State argues that Adnan called Jay to pick him up at Best Buy, showed him Hae’s body, and told him to help bury the body. Jay’s testimony plays a crucial part in Adnan’s trial, essentially being the aspect of the case that determined the decision for Adnan’s sentence. Without Jay testifying, the prosecution’s case would not have been able to stand, resulting in an entirely different outcome. Reexamining Jay’s timeline, there are many discrepancies in the stories he tells in trial and in the investigation room that reduces the credibility of his case. For one, the “come-and-get-me” was the most peculiar conversation in the second interview.
COINCIDENCES AND INCONSISTENCIES February 9, 1999. The body of Hae Min Lee was found in Leakin Park. Fingers were quickly pointed towards young, 17 year old, Adnan Syed. Adnan’s case is a complex one, there’s not a lot of evidence against him, however there are a lot of coincidences that happened the day of Hae’s disappearance.
This proves that Adnan was the one who killed her. Jay and Adnan both committed a serious crime. Adnan killed Hae with the help from
