Asia Mcclain's Case Study
Asia McClain, a classmate of Adnan’s, said that she saw and talked to Adnan that day at the exact time the prosecution claims he was murdering Hae and calling Jay from a payphone at Best Buy that doesn't exist. Asia is one of the very few people who have stuck to the exact same story as they told 17 years ago. Asia wrote Adnan letters in prison, discussing their conversation at the library where she was waiting for a drive. I believe her account of that day because she is unbiased, she doesn’t know if Adnan is innocent or guilty, she just knows what she saw that day, that’s it. She has nothing to win or lose in this case. Asia remembers that day clearly because as she stated in her letters, it was the first snow of the year, which ended in

    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?…

    Adnan Syed's Case Study

    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…

    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.…

    The next point on why Adnan is guilty is because of Jay's solid testimony. Jay shows police exactly where hae's car is and leads them to it . ("Once they're finished at headquarters, they all drive out in the middle of the night to where the car is parked, on a grassy hill behind some row houses off Edmondson Avenue. Within a few hours, they'll have a warrant for Adnan's arrest.") Jay knew exactly where Hae’s car was and shows the police exactly where its at. Jay had a big role in this murder and Adnan is still acting like nothing happened. Jay might have some inconsistencies, but he is very consistent with his information and perspective of this whole mess. While in Serial Sara try’s and make him look like a big time drug dealer to try and…
