    Jay Wilds was the state’s main, and only, witness. He says that Adnan killed Hae and then he called Jay from a phone booth outside of a Best Buy to show him the body and to ask him what to do. Afterwards, they both drive around a bit, get high, drive some more, bury Hae together, and then drive back home. There is even cellphone evidence to support Jay’s story. This all seems bad for Adnan until you look deeper into Jay’s story.

Jay was a friend of Adnan’s: they smoked weed and hung out together. The day of the murder according to Jay was that he picked up Adnan after he killed Hae and left her in the trunk of her car. This is where the two different places that he mentioned where Adnan showed Jay Hae’s body is the Best Buy parking lot and a strip off of Edmondson Avenue are important because these places aren’t similar either, one is a tech store and the other is an outdoor drug market.

    Either way they both support the fact that Adnan was not given an effective lawyer. Adnan also has no real motive for the murder. This is important because motive is a key factor in identifying a murder as it explains their intentions and gives a reasonable explanation on why they had committed the crime. The prosecution, not being able to give a convincing motive, raises doubt as to whether Adnan had a reason and if he really was responsible for the crime. The prosecution claims that Adnan killed Hae out of rage due to their breakup, however there is no real evidence to support this.

    “The most incriminating piece of physical evidence against Adnan Syed was a fingerprint, or rather, a palmprint. On a map (Sarah Koenig-Serial- 128)”. There was one page ripped out from this map and come to find it was the page that showed Leakin Park and more places like their neighborhood, the malls, the school, and other places they drove 90 percent of the time. Although Adnan’s fingerprint or palm print wasn’t found on this page I can not help but wonder why this page would be ripped out. From my point of view, I see this as a very suspicious piece of evidence towards Adnan.

    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.

    It’s a highly debatable topic whether or not Adnan Syed is innocent or guilty in the murder of Hae Min Lee, and I believe that Adnan should be let go from jail. There is very compelling evidence, that points to Adnan not being the one to murder his ex girlfriend. From Jay switching up stories, Asia Mclain's handwritten letters that she wrote to Adnan, stating that she indeed saw him at the local library on January 13th 1999, to Adnan not showing signs of even being mentally unstable. There is many more that I could go in great detail about, but these three focal points stand out to me as key evidence in Adnan's innocence. One reason why Adnan is innocent, is because Jay doesn’t know which story to use.
