Jays Crinology: A Case Study
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

    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…

    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.…

    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…

    Adnan is in jail and knowing that he may or may not have done it, but Jay changed his story over and over, and Adnan said the same story and didn't change anything and when he thought of something he told them what he remembered. When someone asked Jay if he said something that he said before he would say that he didn't say that, which he did he changed his story to make him look innocent when he probably isn't. Jay should of got sometime in jail instead of no time because they didn't even think of when he helped Adnan dig the hole they didn't ask Adnan if he helped him or not they just went off of what Jay said and what Jay said probably isn't right.…

    Come get me. I’m at Best Buy.” ( Koenig Episode 1) After Jay met up with Adnan at Best Buy Adnan showed Jay Hae’s body laying in the trunk. Adnan tells him that he needs to go to track practice to make an appearance so that he doesn’t look suspicious and then later meet up to barry the body. Later on Jay then changes his story and then when the police say something to him about it he says, “Like I said, he knows I sold drugs, I mean...that was, I mean, that’s...he could get me locked up for that, I mean. I’m sure if I ratted him out for killing Hae, then he wouldn’t hesitate to turn me over for selling drugs.” (Koenig Episode 4)…

    One larger inconsistency is the changing of Jay’s story. Jay has many different parts of his story, and in every interview they seem to change. In his first interview he told the police that he first seen Hae’s dead body at a strip. In the second interview, Jay claims to have seen the body first at Best Buy. He claims to have lied about that because he was worried about cameras at Best Buy.…

    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…

    In this case, the narrator finds many calls from different times that are either to or from Adnan’s phone. Many of these calls don’t add up to Adnan’s story or Jay’s story. For example, the first call made that day was at 10:45am and it was to Jay. Adnan says that he called Jay from school to make sure Jay remembered to get his girlfriend, Stephanie, a birthday present. Jay says Adnan called him from school and then drove over to pick him up to go shopping. Jay also says that this was the first time he learned of the murder plan. Another example is a call at 3:40pm made to Jay. Adnan claims that after school let out 2:15pm, he would have gone to the library to check his email while waiting for track practice to start at 3:00pm-4:00pm. Jay claims in the first interview that he spent the day at Jenn’s house waiting for Adnan to call around 3:00pm which he called at 3:40pm. In Jay’s second interview, he claims that he left Jenn’s house at about 3:40pm which is when he said Adnan called him in the first interview. These examples are just some of calls that do not add up or help with this murder case therefore the call records are not able to give enough evidence as to whether Adnan is innocent or…

    When the outgoing call to Nisha from my cell phone was used to prove that my acquaintance, Jay, and I were together at the time of Hae’s death, I was immediately shocked as I was in school during that time. Sarah Koenig, the writer of Serial, who has been researching my case, believes she has found a few viable explanations as to why this call does not in fact link me to Hae’s murder. My 2:23 second outgoing call to Nisha went to her answering machine but Nisha said she didn’t have one. Koenig researched and found that I was charged for the call, supporting the fact that the call was unanswered, as it was over 30…

    Deductive reasoning based off of the behavioral patterns carried out by the linked individual could then highlight the individual as a prime suspect in the Jensen and Faraday murders. From that point, further investigating may find alternative physical evidence linking the owner of the white Chevy to the crime scene, possibly a palm or fingerprint of our suspect could be found on Faraday's Rambler station wagon as David’s wounds place the murderer in close range to the…
