    Adnan Syed's Case Study

    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…

    Adnan Syed Case Study

    Adnan Syed, 19, was convicted of murder fifteen years ago that placed him in prison for life. Mr. Syed, a Muslim, was charged with the murder of his ex girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, by strangling her and burying her body in Leakin Park. With this in mind, Adnan had a friend, Jay Wilds, who had assisted Adnan in the crime, but walked free out of his trial without having to serve any time in prison. Jay’s testimony of the crime had many inconsistencies that should’ve made him untrustworthy, but the jury still used his story as evidence to decide if Adnan is guilty of murder. Furthermore, the Serial podcast episodes, with Sarah Koenig as the narrator, involves Sarah reviewing the whole case of the crime as she also added many pieces of evidence from family and friends of Adnan and Hae, criminal detectors and the cops to try and discover the truth. The search for the truth without any clear details or information can make it very difficult to come to a conclusion. And after listening to all 12 Serial podcasts, I believe that Adnan deserves another trial, but it wouldn’t change the outcome from the first trial without more evidence.…

    I’m sorry that Hassan and I left so abruptly, but it was the only choice we had. I had forgiven you for your act of conceiving a child with my beloved and decided to continue to live under you and raise Hassan as my own, but the actions taken by Amir were what pushed us to that decision. Amir clearly did not want Hassan around and certainly did not think of him as a brother. A brother would never let his fellow blood be defiled in such a heinous way. Amir pushed Hassan from his life and clearly wanted him gone, pretending he had stolen Amir’s money and watch. In the end, Amir got what he wished for when we left, but in return he dishonoured his blood.…

    Secondly, in Mariam’s further life, she was subjected to control by yet another man, causing her life to again be controlled by someone else. When her mother died, Mariam was not allowed to decide where she wanted to live or where she wanted to go. She was forced into a marriage, and again, the path of her life was pre-chosen for her. “‘I don’t want to,’ Mariam said. She looked at Jalil. ‘I don’t want this. Don’t make me’” (Hosseini, 2007, pg.47). Despite Mariam’s wishes, Jalil gave her no choice but to marry Rasheed. She accepted her life of being a wife, accepted her life of having sex with a man significantly older than her, and accepted Rasheed’s choice of trying to have children. Mariam became Rasheed’s pawn, under the control of his home and his rules.…

    I opened the door and standing there, right in front of me were the police. They said the neighbors heard loud yelling a couple days ago and they haven't heard any coughing lately. I told them that she went to the doctor and I don't recall any yelling. The police asked kindly if they could check my house. I allowed them to come in with no trouble because I knew I committed the perfect crime. They would never find the body. After I showed them around my house, they told they wanted to talk for a little bit. I pulled over some chairs for them to sit on and we began to talk in my room.

    It was one of the best nights in a long time. There I was looking at the most beautiful girl I had ever laid eyes on. I was truly the luckiest guy in all of the earth. Pearl was not only the sweetest woman I had ever met, but, also the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Sure we had our ups and downs but in the end we loved each other and that was all that mattered. There was nothing standing in the way of us. Well, maybe one thing… or should I say person… Fortunato. You see, Fortunato was a rich man, richer than I’d ever be. His family pretty much owned the town and everything in it. He would always confront my girlfriend telling her about how happy he could make her and the wonderful life they could have together. I knew that this was true. Whenever I would ask pearl about him she would tell me not to worry and explained how she would never love him. These words would relieve me for short periods until the next time I heard of him addressing her. Fortunato was also a very persistent man and was not used to being told no to having things he wanted. Once he caused a ruckus so big I thought a war might break out. I feared that his endurance and his liking for my mistress would not benefit me at all and for this I was worried.…
