Adnan Case Study
I believe that there isn’t enough evidence to prove or disprove Adnan’s innocence I believe this because, a lot of the evidence that has been used against Adnan is shut by the witnesses or other facts. As an example, Asia claims she saw him in the library, but Jay says he was with Adnan getting rid of the body. They don’t have enough actual evidence to tell who's telling the truth. There is a possibility that Jay is lying and using Adnan as a cover up, but it’s also possible that Adnan is doing the same. Adnan might not be guilty because Jay’s story has been changed multiple times and he is not very credible. Adnan may also be guilty because he gives almost every place he went that day and there is record of his phone calls. We know that Jay had every motivation to lie and no motivation to the tell the truth; had a demonstrated history of lying when it was to his own advantage; and lacked …show more content…
They had an uncooperative suspect, Jay that they had to make cooperative. But to believe they coerced Jay’s testimony in its entirety, you have to believe they also coerced Jen’s testimony as well. You have to believe that something as substantial as finding Hae’s car was hidden from her family. You have to discount incriminating cell phone evidence, most notably the Leakin Park cell phone pings. You have to develop wild theories about how all corroborating testimony was incorrectly attributed as having occurred on Jan 13th. etc. Is all of this possible? Yes. We live in a multiverse after all. Is it reasonable? No. Any reasonable outside observer can see that the odds that Jay was not involved directly in the burial (and tangentially the murder) of Hae Min Lee are remote. And if Jay is involved, any reasonable person would have to conclude Adnan is by far the most likely perpetrator of the murder. Just as any reasonable person would find Jay and probably Jen, as involved as accessories after the

    Police coaching is also believed to have taken place during the questioning of Jay. Within the police files, there is a document labeled ‘Jays Crinology’ and a few maps that show where cell towers are located and pinged throughout the day of the event. The document referring to what Jay’s activities is a numbered list with twenty four events that took place on the day of Hae’s disappearance. It is believed that the police were helping Jay remember the points on that list by reminding him about details that he forgot about. For example, detective McGillivray sighs of exasperation and points out that Jay and Adnan have both Hae’s car and Adnan’s car at one point in time, and Jay forgets about the detail of still having both cars. Jay says, “We…

    Jay says in two different investigations that the call came in around 3:45 but according to the records they came in at 2:36. The records also show that Jay was not at Jenn’s house from 12pm to 3:40pm (like he and Jenn said) that leaves the following; Jay was in the area of Hae’s last-known location at the time that she went missing, and Jay has no alibi for where he was during that time period. Thus, Jay can’t be at Jenn’s house, as he and Jenn told the police over and over. The records show the phone near Woodlawn the entire time of Hae’s (probable) abduction and(or) murder. The same phone was being used to call “Jenn house” at the same time. Adnan has no reason to call Jenn. Did Jay call Jenn?…

    In Aleesha’s case it was apparent that aside from needing policy changes to the hiring process along with policies that help military families, there are also other political factors that failed Aleesha. One which seems to be a large scale issue is the drug prevalence in Aleesha’s community. Since Aleesha’s drug use predominantly began in her neighborhood and later progressed when she moved in with her boyfriend, which happened to be in the same neighborhood, it brings up the question of the accessibility and drug use in this area. It seems that the high drug use perhaps could also have played a role in her involvement with drug distribution. The political factor at hand that affected Aleesha immensely was drugs, because due to drug use and…

    They could try and state that she did not poison Mr. Navidad because she was not the only one that had the opportunity. We used her surveillance footage times being off as a point of her lying. They could say she just forgot the exact times. They could say she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Her fingerprints were not at the crime scene. Ms. Brown’s hair was found there o why not accuse her of the murder. Even though the defense team might have had some arguments I can fight back and respond to all of them. We did a forensic test to prove that only Mrs. Mulroy could have poisoned him because she was the only one that had the opportunity to have put the poison in the cola. The test came back negative on the ice cubes so that ruled out Ms. Brown. Yes she could have forgotten but she left out major points in her interrogation trying to throw us off. She had a motive to kill him. She did have a meeting with him to give her an opportunity to kill him like she had planned. We did not run a DNA test to prove that any kind of hair material or DNA found. That is her office so of course her hair is in her…

    Adnan Syed's Case Study

    • 907 Words

    But, what the defense failed to bring to the court's attention is that on a fax cover sheet discovered by Susan Simpson, AT&T clearly states that incoming call information is not reliable for location of the phone, negating the prosecution's use of it being a tracking device for Adnan. Those AT&T records said Syed’s phone “pinged” a cellphone tower covering the park and nearby areas during calls he received at 7:09 p.m. and 7:16 p.m. on 13 January 1999. The calls were described by Syed’s current attorney as “the pillar of the state’s case” against him. In a court motion filed last August, Syed’s attorney, C Justin Brown, said the disclaimer should have barred prosecutors from using the cellphone records. Brown said the misuse of the records in the face of the “unambiguous warning” on AT&T’s cover sheet – and the failure of Syed’s original lawyer to do anything about this, amounted to prosecutorial misconduct and a denial of Syed’s right to due process. Although this evidence seems crucial to the case, Adnan's lawyer never brought this up at trial, one may think that his lawyer may not bring the evidence to trial is because the state didn’t present them the evidence. Also, in Jay’s interview with Intercept he states that the burial took place at midnight, making any significance the cell records had in placing Adnan near the burial site at seven p.m.…

    The reason the other side believes Adnan is guilty is because of one person; no, not Adnan himself; Jay, who says Adnan told him he was going to kill Hae. More importantly, Jay himself says that Adnan showed Hae’s body to him, as put: “I noticed that Hae wasn't with him. I parked next to him. He asked me to get out the car. I get out the car. He asks me, am I ready for this? And I say, ready for what?” And he takes the keys. He opens the trunk. And all I can see is Hae's lips are all blue, and she's pretzeled up in the back of the trunk. And she's dead.” (Episode I, Page 10). Jay is claiming to have been shown the body of Hae, and he is placing Adnan at the very scene of the crime. How believable is Jay, because according to Sarah and Bill Ritz, Jay’s story repeatedly keeps on changing. Sarah explains to the audience, “I put it to Bill Ritz when I talked to him briefly on the phone. Jay's story kept changing. You were catching the inconsistencies and he was having to explain them and clean up his story. So what ultimately made you believe him? Ritz said they believed Jay's story because “we were able to investigate and corroborate what he was saying.” (Episode 4, Page 68). Jay’s inaccuracies are either due the the fact that he…

    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.…

    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 tapes of Jay’s interview with investigators the listener often hears a tapping noise. That tapping noise isn’t made by Jay, but by the investigators. The investigators aren’t shy about giving away certain details or wording the question differently so that Jay ends up saying what they want to hear. While it is a serious allegation to point the fingers at the cops for trying to twist the truth or come up with their own story, it is not unlikely for police to do such a thing. In Undisclosed episode three, author Susan simply clearly states what she thinks is really going on in the tapes with Jay and the detectives, “The detectives are repeatedly bullying Jay into giving answers that they want. The detectives will tell Jay that he needs to give a certain answer, and again and again Jay complies. He does say what they tell him to say, and it’s not that subtle either.” Jay was only looking out for himself, he didn’t care if Adnan got charged with Hae’s murder. He and the detectives were determined to have their story made to look credible by Jay so that they could convict…

Some of the blood found at O.J.s home did have a preservative in it that is added by police and is not in a person's blood. That shows that the blood had to have gone through the police before it got on O.J.s property, proving they planted it there.…
