Murder Of Hae Min Lee Analysis
Hello, I am Counselor Sarah I’m here to talk about the murder of Hae Min Lee made by Adnan Syed. I am here to say that Adnan Syed is innocent. I concluded this with the following evidence. The first piece of evidence is, Jay has been changing the story to many times (I shall explain what I mean by this in the next paragraph). The second piece of evidence is the Asia’s Affidavit, she has been recalling everything she remembers that day, which includes when he was at the library. Then, the last piece of evidence is he had no rage or anger to attempt a murder towards her.

First, Jay has been changing the story to where it doesn’t even make sense and doesn’t add up. Sure, it has been almost 17 years, but the story has been scrambled where no

Adnan entered the library at around 2:30, sadly she left at around 2:40 but Adnan was still in the library at that time. With those time stamps it helps him prove that he didn’t do it. The time stamps help to say that he had no way to be in two places at once (because obviously there’s only one Adnan Syed).

Back to the conversation that Asia and Adnan had, she described that when they talked about his ex-girlfriend he seemed extremely calm and caring. If this is true then that means he didn’t put as much thought into it and was okay with the break up. There wasn’t a real reason to kill Hae, I mean there was no rage over it so why would he do it? Even family and friends are saying that he didn’t do it. I personally believe he didn’t do it and that Jay did. I mean why would someone admit to burying the body.

Last but not least another thing I personally believe that may be a possibility is that it was the other way around. Adnan probably helped bury the body and not kill her. This could be a possibility but even if it is, Adnan has served his time and deserves to be set free because in the end he did not do it. At the moment this is all the evidence I could

    Lastly, they convicted Mr. Syed based on how he acted toward Miss Lee while they were in a relationship. Lee had a diary and in that diary she wrote about Adnan and her relationship. She didn’t write good things about him. However, all of Adnan’s friends contradict the statements in her diary. So are the things Hae wrote true or did she write those things out of hatred? The police were trying to find evidence to convict Adnan but not finding a killer based off the evidence. Therefore, while reading the diary were the prosecutors and police…

    The woman, Yu, had been found on a lava embankment; Dan had reported that he found her there, presumably after hanging laundry. She had many injuries; a later autopsy determined she died of two massive wounds caused by a tire iron. She also had scrapes from the lava rocks. In 2012, a new case prosecutor reviewed the case-there was additional blood evidence found, evidently linking DeJarnette to his wife’s death. He was a prime suspect in the first place; this just locked it in.…

    Adnan Syed's Case Study

    • 907 Words

    On February 25, 2000 Adnan Syed’s world came crumbling down around him. Adnan was convicted to life plus thirty years for the murder of his high school ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee. Although Adnan was convicted, he is not guilty. The prosecution's case was shaky and was built around one witnesses constantly changing testimony. The witness was Jay Wilds, the neighbourhood drug dealer and a former schoolmate of Adnan’s. As well as the prosecution's main witness being unreliable, the cell phone tower data that they used to convict Adnan says on the cover sheet that the cell phone data from incoming calls can't be used to reliably and precisely locate a cell phone. Lastly, the autopsy report of Hae Min Lee showed fixed frontal lividity, the phenomenon…

    This aboriginal man claimed to have been there the night of the murder and testifies that Tshuanahusset was the one that murdered William Robinson. Yet, he did not firsthand see Tshuanahusset kill William Robinson, nor did he immediately report him for the murder either. It was fifteen months before Sue Tas went to the authorities with information on the murder, and this rose no suspicion for neither the authorities nor the judicial system. The fact that Sue Tas waited this long to inform the authorities rises suspicion that perhaps he was lying because there was belief that Sue Tas was Tshuanahusset killed. Although this suspicion was out in the open, the authorities and judicial system still solely relied on Sue Tas as the only witness and did not look further into these circumstances. This could have simply been that Sue Tas saw the opportunity to pin an open case murder on Tshuanahusset which would explain why he reported him much later from when the murder actually occurred. Also, Sue Tas was threatened by his own tribe and chief after he went to the authorities and reported Tshuanahusset. This information was set aside by all authorities because they simply did not want to complicate the investigation and close it as soon as possible. This information could have meant that Sue Tas did something that was unforgivable by his tribe and this would not be revealing information, but perhaps this could be that he lied about the information to falsely convict Tshuanahusset. Furthermore, the complication of Sue Tas as the only witness should have encouraged authorities and the judicial system to look further into the murder case of William Robinson and not solely rely on one witness, yet through they perfunctory behaviour they closed the case quickly and…

    Adnan was indeed convicted of murdering Hae by the court. Although the reason the court used to convict Adnan of murder were not the most reliable and believable, but the ruling of the court still was correct. If Adnan had truly not murdered Hae, then he would have tried to be more convincing about his testimony and come up with better evidence that he could have used to prove himself innocent. As the court proved Adnan guilty, it it believable because of evidence and logic behind the court’s decision.…

    In Serial, Adnan is betrayed by those around him and falsely convicted for the murder of Hae Min Lee, showing that Adnan should deserve a retrial. First, the police interrogates Jay a lot. One of the days Jay was interrogated, 3 hours of the interrogation was not recorded. Jay has something new to say every time with a different version of a story. In this 3 hours Jay probably had said many things. In those stories there might have been crucial amount of info that could have helped but was not recorded. Second, the prosecutor maybe turned on Adnan and helping Jay. A question sparked people's attention when Jay was asked how he attained a lawyer. It was strange about how he attained a lawyer. Jay claimed he was not allowed to get one until…

    Is Adnan guilty? Adnan is not guilty because it is possible that he did not have enough time to kill Hae. The day she went missing was around Ramadan, so he would have had a busy schedule including the holiday which demonstrates he didn’t have time to kill her. He would never have any private moment to kill her since the parking lots at school and Best Buy are always busy. In the podcast, Koenig reads an excerpt of the letter she received from Adnan, There are 1500 other students filling the hallways and stairwells of a four story building.…

    On January 13th, 1999 in Woodlawn, Maryland, the life of Hae Min Lee has been taken, but by who seems to be the question. Hae was loved by many, she was beautiful, intelligent and outgoing, so who would want to kill her? Like many cases, the attention turned to her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed. Much attention has been brought to the case of The State v. Adnan Syed. From that attention came the Podcasts Serial and then Undisclosed. While the podcasts are told by different people and have different concepts, they both bring attention to wanting to know the truth. On of the pieces of the case is the Testimony told by Jay Wild’s, an acquaintance of Adnan, which has many inconsistencies and lacks credibility.…

    Adnan and Hae dated for a while during school and Hae wrote that it was true love until Don came into the picture. Even though the two split they were still friends so everyone thought. Hae wrote many heartfelt things about Adnan in her diary even after they broke up no one said that Adnan was obsessive or mad about it. So there was no real way to tie Adnan into killing Hae until the police checked Adnan’s phone record. Where…

    On January 13th 1999, a girl named Hae Min Lee was killed and buried in Leakin Park. Her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, was convicted of this murder case and there are still holes and facts that don’t add up to help the situation. This case was so interesting that a podcast was made to research and try to find an answer. The woman, Sarah, made this podcast and worked on years of research but was unable to come to a final saying on whether or not Adnan was truly innocent or guilty. In my opinion, I feel there is not enough evidence to tell if he is innocent or guilty because of Jay’s story, the call records, and the Nisha call.…

    I would first like to discuss the only “hard evidence” that the state has offered in convicting me of this murder; the outgoing phone call on my cell phone to Nisha Inez Butler on the day Hae was murdered. The state offered that my motive for killing your daughter was due to my rage after our final breakup. Prosecutor Kevin Eurig said: “He became enraged, he felt betrayed that his honor had been besmirched, and he became very angry, and he set out to kill Hae Min Lee” (Serial, Ep. 10, 12:56). I would just like to clarify that Hae and I had already moved on: I to Nisha, and Hae to Don, whom I had met and was friendly with. The state’s motive is really just something they scraped together to pin this murder on me.…
