Hae Min Lee was an extraordinary girl who had a bright future ahead of her, until she was murdered on January 13. Hae Min Lee was only 18 years old when she was murdered and the person who was charged for her murder was Adnan Syed; Adnan was Hae’s ex boyfriend and was believed to have kill Hae, and there was enough evidence to help prove that he was guilty. However that is not the case for Adnan, because he is innocent and did not kill Hae Min Lee on January 13. The first thing that should be pointed out is about when Adnan found out that Hae had died; he was clearly shown to be very distraught. As described by others they say, “We went inside and Adnan was sitting at the kitchen crying, after a while he said that there had to be a mistake and Hae was still alive… He wanted to call detective O’Shea…” Episode 8” As the quote shows Adnan could not deal with the fact that Hae was murdered and he wanted to call the main …show more content…

Adnan isn’t the same kid who stole from the mosque. In the podcast it says,“When he ended up in prison,he says that he made a choice to be a better Muslim.” Episode 9” Adnan has chosen to become more religious than just lose faith in his religion. Which is huge since he has been able to stay in faith even though he was put in prison while most other people would lose all their faith in his situation.Adnan isn’t scared to test new evidence. Adnan wants to prove that he is innocent even it has been a long time since Hae was murdered.“It’s impossible for it to be sitting for sixteen years and you guys never tested it. So that’s fine, I want it tested.” Episode 12 He isn’t scared of testing the evidence, he gave them consent to search it which would be insane to do if you were guilty since you are just asking to be proven guilty.

    It is now popular belief that Adnan's conviction is the result of his lawyer's failure to represent him efficiently and her failure to use all the evidence provided to establish a strong case that would establish reasonable doubt. The most consistent example that draws the most attention is her decision to not test the DNA evidence collected at Hae's burial site. The investigators chose not to test the DNA simply because it may have proved Adnan's innocence. Gutierrez was fully aware of this fact, yet she still chose to not test the evidence even though it could clear Adnan's name. The supporters of Gutierrez's choice state that her decision was rational since the DNA evidence could have also made it appear even more likely that that he committed the crime.

    Adnan Syed is speciously guilty of first degree murder of Hae Min Lee. Syed claims to have no recollection of the events that occurred on January 13, 1999 which, in some cases could be a way to further prove one’s innocence, but it also means Syed has no solid alibi to contradict Jay Wilds narrative of what exactly happened that day. If a person does not have an alibi verified with witnesses to counteract another person’s story claiming you murdered another person on a particular day, they are probably guilty of committing that crime. However, Syed was asked to account for a day that happened 6 weeks prior to questioning, it’s not irregular that he cannot remember specific details especially if it was just a regular old day for him.

    It was his word alone that suggested that Adnan wanted Hae dead. Not a single person thought this, not Hae, not their family, not their friends and not even anyone at school. The only problem here is that Adnan doesn't seem to remember exactly where or what he was doing that day. Who could blame him though, we can’t even remember what we eat the other day. He had to remember something that happened 15 years ago and although it was a big memory something so simple as smoking weed, could cause someone to forget what they did.

    He later changes it to it being just he who gets high, but why would this change in the story help him out? If Adnan had done the crime he would want to get an escape from all the stress he has just put on himself, so it would make more sense if he had smoked weed after the crime. Lastly, he lies about helping dig the hole in which Hae was buried. At first, he claims to have refused to dig the hole and then changes his mind and claims he helped dig the hole. I feel that he or his attorney wanted to change this to make Jay appear more prominent in the case, so he would seem more like an eye witness.

    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.

    In his second interview it presents that Adnan didn’t say anything about killing Hae until the day of the murder. At this point, it is unclear as to whether this change in the story can truly confirm Adnan’s motive to kill Hae. This is a tough and slippery slope to go down because of Jay’s inconsistencies, so it’s going to take a little more than just moxie to figure this one out. Considering that everyone who was questioned wasn’t asked until five weeks after the murder, so there’s no telling what little details were forgotten or were lies to truly clarify Adnan’s motive if no straight answer was given. Yet, this detail alone was enough for the state to use against Adnan to confirm Adnan’s motive to kill Hae and his jealousy for the new

    Of course, many people think Adnan Syed is guilty of murdering Hae by contradicting himself, by saying, “I am in here for my own mistakes.” He might have been on the edge of confessing his guilt until Sarah caught this and asked what he meant, and quickly recovers from his mistake. Adnan also slips his tongue by saying that he wants people to only look at the evidence, and not his personality. If I were convicted of a crime I would certainly like to have my personality be looked at, if I were innocent. So they could see what good I have done.
