Nikko Sheppard Mr. Salazar English 3 9 February, 2023 Adnan Syed’s Innocence In 1999, 17-year-old Adnan Syed is accused of strangling and murdering his ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee.

Their relationship, unfortunately, came to an end after they were discovered by Adnan’s parents. They decided to part ways but continued to stay friends as they didn’t have any hard feelings. According to Sarah Koenig from the Serial podcast, “…I don’t buy the motive for this murder, at least not how the State explained it. I just don’t see it. Not one person says he was acting strangely after they broke up. He and Hae, again by all accounts, were still friends”. Adnan had no reason to kill Hae.

After they separated, the two seemed to act normal. Adnan didn’t seem obsessed with Hae or the fact that he lost her. Adnan didn’t seem to act suspicious or jealous in any way after he and Hae had split. He was interested in other girls and even had a few girlfriends after the breakup. Hae’s friends claim that Adnan acted normal and treated Hae as just a friend and didn’t act obsessive at all over his ex-girlfriend. “It is true that no one at the time described Adnan as

    This reason makes sense because other people said Adnan and Hae never really had fights in their relationships so if they never had fights and weren’t ever really mad at eachother then Adnan wouldn’t have a reason to kill Hae. This part of the story is when Adnan is talking about how there wasn’t any fighting going on their relationship. ”well mind you now, this is me talking, you know, fifteen years later, I mean, you know she was upset. I was upset, you know there were times that I was very sad, and maybe I would kinda be like a little stubborn about it, like “no, no we can make it work! You know our parents would be cool or whatever,” but on the other hand, it was never a thing where I was like screaming or yelling at her “why are you leaving me?”

    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”).
