Imagine just at the age of 18 you are convicted for a murder you never committed and were locked away for the rest of your life. That 's what happened to Adnan Syed, I believe that Adnan was unjustly convicted of the murder of his ex-girlfriend in 1999 because of bad evidence, Jay 's story was mostly a lie, and that he had a bad lawyer. One reason why I think Adnan is Innocent is how bad the evidence is.When Mr. S first found Haes body there were a bunch of evidence, but the items that stuck out to me were the empty bottles and the rope, but the bottles and rope were never tested so we didn 't know if Adnan was drinking that night or if the real killer used the rope (Koenig, “Leaking Park”). Another part of evidence that never made sense was the phone booth at best buy (Koenig,”To be suspected”). This phone was used to call Jay to pick Adnan up right before they buried Hae 's body, but a number of people said and the blueprints showed that there wasn 't even a phone booth there so he couldn 't of made the call. A third part is Haes car, they found it in an odd place but they didn 't run any prints to see if anyone else but Andn was in the car (Koenig, To be suspected.) Hae 's car I think was a bad part on the …show more content…
Another reason why Adnan is innocent is Jay, Adnan 's long time “buddy”. Jay already seemed like a person who most people wouldn 't trust, Jay smoked and deals marijuana, many people saw him as a dark person and Jay even said he was a criminal person (). One of the biggest points was when Jay was in court and he was changing his story every time, like when he was asked if he helped Adnan bury the body, at first he said no he only watched but after awhile he said he helped bury and he even got the shovels and and hid them(). I feel like Jay was changing the stories on purpose because the cops told him if he pinned it on Adnan he won 't get in any trouble because he said he helped the murder and admitted to smoking and selling weed (). A third
Jay testified he helped Adnan bury Hae’s body in 1999. “Jays first interview with detectives. He tells them Adnan
There was not enough evidence to prove if Adnan was innocent or guilty. There were multiple people that said that Jay had Adnan’s phone but Adnan called Jay at least twice which means that Adnan would have had to use a payphone or borrow a phone. And supposedly Adnan was sitting in the best buy parking lot when he called Jay. Also in the time it took
Nobody was rushing to convict Adnan specifically. The detectives were not simply picking and choosing evidence that looked bad for Adnan, they were doing their jobs
Out of all of the witnesses and all of the facts, the only hard evidence the prosecution had was Jay Wilds’ testimony and Adnan’s own cell phone records. Without the records, the jury must simply decide who is more credible- Jay or Asia. In fact, in a 2015 interview with The Intercept, prosecutor Kevin Urick admits that either Jay’s testimony or the cell phone evidence by itself would not be enough to prove Adnan’s guilt. Therefore, the state needs both of them to put Adnan away. But honestly, the state has neither comfortably.
Adnan didn't have the personality of someone who would do this. Time and time again, people have said he doesn’t seem to be obsessed with Hae, or that he is a good kid, etc. When the number of people saying Adnan would never do this is so high, and Jay Wild's statements are the only ones saying he would, it becomes suspicious in my opinion. While I believe Adnan's personality is one of the main proofs of his innocence, there is still a way that he would have committed this crime. First, many of the quotes are from people who used to be close to him.
no he didn't, there is so much more evidence that Adnan did not receive a fair trial than that he did, he are some of the key ones. The jury really listens to jay's story and what if he was lying, he really didn't have that much proof that he was telling the truth. Also, ‘’On Jan. 13, 1999, according to Asia, she was in the Woodlawn Public Library while waiting for her boyfriend to pick her up. Shortly after 2:15 p.m., Syed walked in
This case has many strong pieces of evidence, which show that Adnan was not capable of killing Hae Min Lee. There was very little evidence found and the evidence can not prove Adnan to be guilty. Adnan was at school on the day Hae was killed. When she was found and analyzed it was determined
There were no reasonable doubts about his innocence. The only logical answer seems to that, this is not a case of one man’s innocence rather the bias of someone involved in this case. Adnan’s freedom was forestalled due to this unknown because of one man’s story and one phone call from a phone log. This evidence should not have been the cause of a conviction, and should not be keeping an innocent man lock away behind bars. Adnan is innocent and should currently be a free
The information that was shown for how he’s innocent can also show how it could also be used against him also. The cell phone towers prove how Adnan can be innocent or guilty, while at the same time it can prove he has no alibi. The autopsy proves that there could have been another suspect involved in the case. Jay’s testimony kept on changing and wasn’t consistent at all he had 7 different stories(4 to police, 2 at trial, and 1 to intercept). All of this shows how it can be used for against Adnan and how it still doesn’t show that Adnan did it with just that so not enough information.
These two reasons are all that a person should need to believe that Adnan didn't have enough motive, or time, to kill Hae. Jays testimony sets the timeline and proves there is enough evidence, which is not presented by Adnan’s lawyer, to say Adnan is innocent by a straying story. The time period where Hae could've been killed does not match Adnan’s timeline. Jay, who is a convicted felon, was the only witness and is trusted to give a good story. Cristina Gutierrez, who was Adnan’s lawyer, had medical issues that distracted her from using useful information in his case.
However, the beginning ends with detectives interviewing Jay, an acquaintance of Adnan, who claims that Adnan repeatedly spoke about murdering Hae, and called him when he had supposedly
OJ Simpson is Indeed Innocent “If it doesn’t fit, you have to acquit,” this quote said by one of OJ Simpson’s attorneys, Johnny Cochran, is widely known for its impact on the controversial case of OJ Simpson. From 1994-1995 OJ Simpson was known as one of the most controversial cases in the USA due to the verdict that OJ was innocent of the murders of his ex wife and one of her friends. On June 12, 1994 Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman met an untimely demise, and the only suspect the police ever reviewed was OJ Simpson. OJ was later caught in a low speed chase in a white Ford Bronco before being taken into custody and put on trial. In the sensationally controversial court case involving OJ Simpson as a suspect for murder, The innocent ruling
Relationships, lies, murder, conviction. These are all aspects that come into play when talking about the January 13th, 1999 murder of high school student Hae Min Lee. 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.
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.
