Hae Min Lee Case

The sudden and violent murder of Hae Min Lee was concluded by the state that Adnan was guilty; however, it's entirely possible that the state’s evidence was not credible, and Hae’s murderer still runs free. In the popular podcast “Serial” by Sarah Koenig, the state concluded and ended the case, sending Adnan’s teenage life away. Although the evidence the state provided may be convincing, The evidence that wasn’t presented leaves the case in shambles, and puts someone else to blame. To begin with, the state's main witness, Jay, who claimed to have helped Adnan bury Hae's body, provided inconsistent statements and changed his story multiple times. Additionally, the prosecution relied heavily on cellphone tower data to place Adnan at the crime scene.

“Once they learned there that was never tested for DNA, including a liquor bottle containing human skin cells and rope found at the crime scene, they visited Adnan Syed in the prison. This quote proves that Christina did not look into DNA evidence. Adnan should be granted post conviction because his past attorney didn’t test potential evidence that could support Syed. Ronald Lee Moore, who was released from prison 10 days before Lee vanished in January 1999, could have been responsible for her death. This quote shows that there could have been other suspects to blame besides Mr. S, who was a strong suspect.

Looking at another person’s perspective of the case, Katie Clifford, in her view, “In our files, we have a lot of things, evidence they collected that got sent off and we don’t have reports for everything and we are curious about the results that we don’t have and whether or not those exist and just why they’re not in the files that we have.” Katie Clifford is one of Deirdre Enright’s students, Adnan’s former lawyer. Moreover, since we are considering possible suspects we should talk about how Adnan became the star suspect of this

At the age of 17, Adnan Syed was charged for the murder of Hae Min Lee, but I don’t believe he did it, and I want to tell you why I think it was Jay who committed the murder. In this case there are days worth of reading for evidence. Just in the transcripts, there’s 288 pages, some of it evidence, some of it conversations, and some of it interviews. There are so many people involved that it's very difficult to say for certain that Adnan did it, but it's also very difficult to point out anyone else that could have done it as well.

They discussed other cases and their details, such as the people who were involved and things they told her while they were suspects. Deirdre asked the narrator if she could look at Adnan’s case, and the narrator said

The prosecution case against Adnan Syed was mainly based on the testimony of Jay wilds, who said he helped bury Hae Min Lee's body. Jay's testimony was supported by the cell phone records that placed Adnan on the site on the Day Hae Min Lee disappeared. According to the prosecution, the evidence sayed that Adnan had a motive to Kill Hae, because he was jealous and possessive of her. However, there are inconsistinces in Jay’s testimony, which has changed multiple times over the years. Some people also claimed that He was pressured into providing false testimony by the police.

Even though Christina and her friends stop to talk to Marco, a well known drug dealer, she does not have reasonable suspicion because she did not see the drugs being passed. Them talking does not necessarily mean that they are doing

Syed’s friend Jay Wilds has been put on the spot countless times and failed to tell the same story each time he was questioned (Chaudry). Knowing there is additional evidence to go with this case, these points provided the most beneficial information on Syed’s case. In conclusion, there may have been weak evidence and evidence to help set him free, but Adnan Syed is not guilty. Gutierrez -Syed

Jay's story was did not really line up with all of the cell phone calls besides this one which is the biggest call of the case. And like one of the defence attorneys said you would have to have the worst luck in the world for all of this to happen in the span of a couple hours. It started with him lending jay his car and some people may not think this is that big but jays reasoning is saying that the reason jay had his car so adnan could get into haes car to murder

This alibi could have been an absolute turning point in Adnan’s case and could have shown his innocence. In the end, Christina Guttierez was eventually dispparred, which shows her ineffectiveness in law. Also, she had many health conditions and later died, which possibly played a role in the way she performed as a lawyer. However, the prosecution side did a great job in making Adnan look bad. The state believes that Adnan’s motive was that “he became enraged, he felt betrayed,” and that was why he killed Hae.

The testimony and evidence used against Adnan was enough to convict anyone they chose to imprint on. That sadly was a muslim teenager who pulled the short stick. Nowadays, phones are in everyone 's hands. GPS is programed in and every electric movement is documented in hard drives in storage facilities all over the country. IN 1998-1999, cell phones were on the rise.

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.

Especially during the process of gathering evidence so long as Adnan remained the guilty party throughout the murder investigation. It was easy to attack his Pakistani heritage and the fact that he was the most recent ex-boyfriend. One of the very first suspects was the man, Mr. S, who “discovered” Hae’s body in the park. Mr. S was a maintenance worker

“The worst form of injustice is pretended justice.” These words are spoken by Plato, a Greek philosopher; they speak for many injustices we have in today’s world and related directly to Adnan Syed and his conviction. In the podcast Serial, investigated by Sarah Koenig, released in 2014, she captures the journey of Adnan Syed’s conviction and the murder of Hae Min Lee in Baltimore, Maryland in 1999. Although there are many factors that point fingers at Adnan being guilty of the murder of Hae Min Lee, many things have been uncovered which can prove otherwise. Adnan Syed was targeted because of his racial, religious, and cultural differences; this, along with his lack of motivation to kill Hae Min Lee and the inconsistent stories of the State’s

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.
