721 Words3 Pages

Adnan Syed Have you ever got accused of something you didn’t do but it looks like you did? Well, that’s exactly what happened to Adnan. In the Mystery Murder Serial podcast by Sarah Koenig, it explains multiple different stories about Hae Min Lee. It tells the story through different people's perspectives. Jay was one of Adnan’s friends, they did drug deals and whatnot that kind of stuff. Adnan dated Hae for a while then broke up and she found someone she loved dearly named Don. Jay was dating Hae’s best friend Stephanie. Jay and Adnan had a weird kind of friendship; they weren’t close or anything, they just smoked weed together and did other drugs. Would Adnan ask Jay to help him bury his ex-girlfriend's body or would that be a little too …show more content…

Why is that? For example, in Crime Junkie it says that “Don was at work the night the cops called him and he didn’t answer his phone call from the cops till 2 am that next morning”. Don was avoiding the cops and he didn’t want to get a hold of them. Keep this in mind that he worked at a Lenscrafters store and it didn’t stay open till 2 am. In the Crime Junkie podcast, it also says that “Don kept changing his time card and believe it or not his mom and stepmom were his bosses at both places he worked at”. Don could get around things and avoid certain things he didn’t want involved in. The cops only looked at Adnan but why not the older more recent …show more content…

In Serial it tells the audience how “Jay kept changing his story over and over again from yeah we went to a national park and smoked weed to No we went to Leakin Park smoked weed then we buried her body”. Why would Jay keep changing his story? Was he trying to protect someone or just himself? In Serial it also says that “Jay knew where the car was and there was a green patch of grass where it was found”. 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”. He cared about her well-being and he tried to make sure she was okay after she didn’t pick up her cousin from school as she always does. Adnan cared for her even though they broke

    In this testimony, Jay incriminates Adnan by saying he was shown Hae’s body and made to help Adnan bury her. Cell phone records and other testimonies corroborated Jay’s version. However, during the multiple retellings of his testimony, Jay’s story had several inconsistencies. During the trial and his interviews, Jay’s testimonies have wildly different versions of where he was shown the body, whether Adnan planned the murder ahead of time, where the murder took place, as well as many others details. Jay was also told by the detectives that, if he failed to incriminate Adnan, he would be the primary suspect in the case.

    He testified that he helped Adnan bury Hae Min Lee's body, and his testimony was used as evidence against Adnan in the trial. Jay's testimony has been called into question and was a central point of discussion in the Serial podcast. Jay Wilds' testimony was called into question by some people, including the creators of the Serial podcast, because of inconsistencies in his statements. For example, Jay provided different accounts of where and when he saw Adnan and Hae's car on the day of the murder, and he changed his story about when he learned that Hae had been killed. Additionally, Jay's testimony was not supported by other evidence in the case, such as phone records, which seemed to contradict his claims about his movements on the day of the murder.

    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.

    She states “A year after Adnan was arrested and the case came to trial, Jay walked up to the witness stand. There’s a moment when Adnan muttered something to him” (45). By Adnan calling Jay pathetic he showed that he couldn’t believe Jay would rat him out. This incident shows that Adnan is a liar and is mad at Jay for going to the police, showing that he is guilty. Even after controlling himself through the whole case he snapped when he saw the man that betrayed him.
