An Evidence Of Adnan Syed's Case

1242 Words5 Pages

Adnan Syed's case remains an ongoing and complex investigation of a typical teenage romance breakup, spanning an extensive 24-year period up to the present day. Adnan's case led to continuous disagreements over his conviction on February 25, 2000, being charged with first-degree murder, Kidnapping, false imprisonment, and robbery. Some say that his conviction should be overturned, and some say that Adnan's conviction should be maintained. Evaluating the evidence, the evidence being used against Adnan shines a bright light on Adnan committing the crime. Based on the evidence, Adnan should keep his conviction, serving 30 years of prison. The Prosecution presented compelling evidence against Adnan, more robust than the defendant's evidence. Jay's …show more content…

The Prosecution's case was more robust than Adnan with the Prosecution using a combination of witness testimonies and cell phone records, painting Adnan as guilty. In contrast, the defense struggled to provide coherent and compelling evidence. Adnan's defense focused more on moving the blame to someone else, or they tried to discredit Jay's testimony. The only attempt to prove Adnan was innocent was by Asia McClain," Asia plus boyfriend saw him in library 2:15 to 3:15" (Serial 1.18). This evidence would have shown Adnan's innocence. There was, however, a lack of supporting evidence to back up the credibility of this piece of evidence. Many of Adan's witnesses say that he does not have the motive to murder Hae, which is debatable. Adnan has constantly told his friends that "he was going to kill that bitch” (Serial 1.7). In addition to constantly saying he will kill Hae, Adnan also wrote in pen, "I'm going to kill" (Serial 6.4) on a note that they used to make fun of Hae. Hae had also written a letter to Adnan frustrated letter "I'm really getting annoyed that this situation is going the way it is" She wrote, "You know, people break up all the time. Your life is not going to end. You'll move on, and I'll move on. But apparently you don't respect me enough to accept my decision" (Serial 6.4). There were many indications that Adnan had a motive to kill Hae, as suggested by his comments and letters he received from

    Asia’s letters had also said that her boyfriend and his best friend had seen Adnan in the library after school between 2:15-2:40 pm. Ms. Guiterrez had certainly made a huge mistake of not contacting Asia because Asia would have been able to provide her part of the story to prove Adnan’s innocence and also have two other witnesses to support her story to be valid. The defense attorney had made a terrible error with the case because the result of the trial could have ended differently if she would have contacted Asia McClain. Another example of Ms. Guiterrez’s deficient work was because she was sick and greedy for money. Ms. Guiterrez had many records of her demanding money from clients to supposedly use for judge experts in the case, but she kept the money to herself for her personal use or to pay for her medical bill.

    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.

    In Episode 5, the podcast highlights how the cell phone records, presented as evidence by the prosecution, were subject to different interpretations. The defense argues that the cell phone tower locations do not definitively prove Adnan's presence at the crime scene. This gives evidence for the innocence of Adnan, but because it was not highly considered or used during the trial Adnan was still proven guilty. Additionally, DNA testing conducted on the crime scene failed to match Adnan's DNA, as revealed in Episode 9, weakening the prosecution's assertion of his direct involvement. The absence of concrete physical evidence connecting Adnan to the murder raises doubts about the validity of his conviction and the severity of his

    In the podcast “Serial” by Sarah Koenig, Adnan expressed his anger over the breakup. The breakup could have lashed out anger which could have driven Adnan towards violence against Hae, leading her to her demise. However, this is one possibility out of many that could have motivated Adnan to commit such a horrendous crime. Possibly, Adnan and Hae’s secret relationship could have led up to Hae’s tragic death. Also, Adnan’s religion affects the relationship which leads up to Hae Min Lee’s tragic death.

    Asia’s story shows that Adnan was not around Hae at the time of her murder. According to Asia, Adnan was in the library around 2:30 – the same time Hae was murdered- proving that Adnan was wrongfully convicted. Furthermore, Asia wrote Adnan a note which states “I’m not sure if you remember talking to me in the library on January 13th, but I remembered chatting with you. Throughout your actions that day I have a reason to believe in your innocence” (https://serialpodcast.org/season-one/1/the-alibi0).

    People are convinced that Adnan committed the crime and that he is the killer. However, throughout the trial, there is a lack of evidence and also a lack of DNA evidence proving that Adnan did commit the crime. Syed was recently released from prison in September 2022 after serving 23 years. He is an alibi in the case meaning that he was accused of a crime while being elsewhere and being accused of a crime. There is a high possibility that Adnan is found guilty quickly because of his lack of emotions for Hae’s death and also since everything that happened throughout the case is pointed at Adnan for the blame.

    This led to accusations claiming that Adnan killed Hae out of spite of the breakup. One argument presented was the fact that his religion could have driven him to commit the murder. The prosecution relied on ideas like honors killings from his culture, or rather the culture they assumed he fit into based on race. The prosecution claimed that Adnan killed her to protect his honor in the Islam faith and Pakistani culture, as the prosecution falsely identified him as Pakistani again, he is American. First, approaching the idea that his religion caused him to kill Hae.

    Furthermore, detectives didn’t investigate why Adnan left his phone to Jay. There may be another reason why he presented false testimony during the trial. He was bribed or forced by the police to provide false testimony. This might have happened due to the lack of evidence in the case, which made it harder for the cops to investigate.

    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”).

    Putting these circumstances aside, it was said by many that the relationship was pretty typical and Adnan got over the breakup easily. This was said by teachers and friends of both Hae and Adnan. One of Hae’s friends, Becky, explained the relationship as “just a silly, teenage, high school, relationship” (Koenig “The Breakup”) which proves that Adnan was not as upset as the prosecution made him out to be at trial. Another notable aspect is that after Hae and Adnan broke up, Hae got in a small car accident and asked Adnan to come help her, her new boyfriend Don also showed up and confirms that him and Adnan had a cordial meeting and explains that they talked for 10 to 15 minutes even after the car situation had been figured out (Koenig “What We Know”). If Adnan was really that broken up about the breakup, he would not have been so friendly towards the new guy who seemed to take his place in Hae’s life.
