How To Kill Time Persuasive Essay

657 Words3 Pages

Take time to imagine this scenario. You’re lying in bed, your ex has been missing for a few days. You have no idea where they could be, or what happened to them. A knock on the door leads to you being hauled away in a police car. Suddenly you’re thrust into a murder trial, and you’re the main suspect. This horror is Adnan Syed’s reality. Wrongfully accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee in 1999, Adnan Syed should be released due to conviction by uncreditable evidence, unclear witness statements, and unfair representation.
First off, Adnan could not have committed this crime because the 2:36 “kill time” is basically impossible with Adnan’s alibi(Koenig, “Route Talk”). There was a very small window of time for Adnan to commit the murder and make the call at 2:36. There were 1500 students attending Woodlawn High School in Baltimore, Maryland. The final bell rings at 2:15. Before you are able to leave the 4 story building, the buses have to leave the parking lot. This could take up to 15 minutes. 15 minutes, that brings you to about 2:30. The Best Buy in town is a mile away. There is no logical way that he could have travelled a mile from school to the Best Buy, committed the murder, and made the call to Jay from a cell phone booth in 6 minutes. Adnan was also seen in the library at 2:30 by multiple people, which basically eliminates him from the suspect list (Koenig, “Route Talk”). Adnan was …show more content…

She was known for being gutsy and crass in the courtroom, but did she take it too far with this case? Adnan talks multiple times about how he loved and respected Cristina. He felt like she Cristina was trying to make Jay crack. I believe personally that it was a tactic of her’s she probably used quite often, and it probably worked more times than not. In Adnan’s case, it didn’t. She should have done her homework and contacted as many witnesses, such as Asia McClain, as she could to help in Adnan’s

    Even with Jay’s testimony, I don't believe that Adnan Syed should have been convicted of murder on such little evidence. The state’s motive for Adnan is based on Muslim stereotypes and no real evidence. They say that when Hae broke up with Adnan she besmirched his honor, forcing him to have to kill her to regain it. Adnan has shown many times that he doesn’t follow strict Muslim rules by dating multiple girls, partying, and even smoking marijuana.

  • Was Adnan Syed Guilty Responsible For The Death Of Hae?

    On February 9, 1999 Hae Min Lee was found in Leakin Park, Baltimore, Maryland with signs of manual strangulation. The state claimed that Adnan Syed, Hae’s former boyfriend at the time was responsible because they believed he was enraged of their relationship ending. My claim is Adnan Syed is likely not responsible for the death of Hae Min Lee, because there was insufficient evidence to prove he was guilty and the trial was unfair, it was based more on his racial background than the actual case itself. Adnan can be proved innocent with Don’s odd alibi and suspicions.

    Cristina was on Adnan’s side but I think she could have done better to defend him. She is said to have gone in circles when cross examining the witness (Jay) seemingly with no real objective. When Asia McClain came forward as a witness for Adnan, she was never contacted. Why Cristina never contacted her is a big question.

    Murder, the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another. Premeditated means that the killing of the person was planned out, this helps support that Adnan Syed is not guilty. In 1999 an eighteen year old girl named Hae Min Lee went missing from Baltimore, Maryland. Her ex boyfriend Adnan Syed was accused of murdering her and disposing her body in Leakin park. The problem is that all the evidence used to persecute Adnan does not add up to make a strong case.

    The verdict in this case generated an epidemic of outrage throughout the world. I agree with the not-guilty verdict on the murder one and two charges; however, the evidence is not as incontrovertible as some have suggested. I also agree that there was some mischaracterization around the 31 days; yet, to trivialize this behavior as simply immature is inaccurate. The way Casey handled the death was inexcusable.

    The court did not have enough conclusive evidence to pin the murder on Adnan. I also believe other steps should have been taken, if not before the trial right afterwards, like testing the DNA they found on Hae and in her car. I also believe Adnan's lawyer should have talked to Asia and that the police should have checked more into some of Jay's statements. There are some coincidences that might seem like the murderer could have been Jay, Adnan or friends of theirs instead of a random person. I just personally believe, that if this were to happen nowadays Adnan would not have received the plea he did, more information would have to be brought into the case.

Adnan Syed, Hae’s 17-year-old ex-boyfriend was convicted of her murder in 2000. The problem with this is that the only evidence the state had to convict Adnan was the stories told by others, specifically someone named Jay who was with Adnan for some of the day Hae went missing and had possession of Adnan’s car and cell phone. He claims Adnan made him come pick him up after the murder was committed and assist him in burying Hae’s body.
