The Case Of Hae Min Lee's Case

What would you do if you were accused of something you did not actually do? How would you feel if you had to serve a life sentence in prison for a crime you didn’t commit? Adnan Syed is an inmate at the Maryland Correctional Facility, serving a life sentence for killing his former girlfriend, Hae Min Lee. While there is some evidence saying Adnan is guilty of the murder of Hae Min Lee, there is even more evidence saying he didn’t. Adnan Syed is innocent and had nothing to do with the murder of Hae Min Lee because Adnan and Hae were still friends when she was murdered and Adnan had an alibi at the time that Hae was supposed to be murdered at.
The police who believed that Adnan killed Hae, said that he probably killed her because he was mad
When Adnan was asked where he was at the time of the Murder he said the he was probably at track practice or at the library because he had time in between the end of school and track practice (Koenig 18 and 19). Later, after Adnan was arrested, when Serial Podcast reporter, Sarah Koenig, was looking into the murder, she found a letter from a girl named, Asia McClain. The letter said, “Dear Adnon, (I hope I spelled it right) I'm not sure if you remember talking to me at the library on January 13, but I remembered chatting with you (Koenig 29).” Asia also talks about how she was waiting for her boyfriend to pick her up that day, and that she and Adnan were talking until about 3:40pm. Sarah Koenig says, “Quote, ‘We left around 2:40pm,’ unquote. Remember, Hae is supposed to be dead by 2:36 (Koenig 29).” This letter from Asia helps me believe that Adnan was at the library with Asia at the time that Hae was supposed to be dead. In Asia’s letter she talks about how she was waiting for her boyfriend that day, and she remembered only because he was very late to pick her up and it was
Jay, Adnan Syed’s friend, testified during trial and said that Adnan called him right after he killed Hae to tell him to pick Adnan up. In an interview with the police, Jay said this, “Detective: And why is that? Jay: Because he said he was going to kill Hae. Detective: And the reason you have the car and the cell phone was why? Jay: To pick him up from wherever he was going to do this at (Koenig 10).” Jay also told the detective this, “Detective: Why don't you go ahead and tell us what you know about the death of Hae Lee. Jay: OK. I'd left out, went shopping with a friend of mine, an ex-friend of mine, Adnan. We had had a conversation. During the conversation he stated that he was going to kill that ***, referring to Hae Lee. I took it with context. It didn't stand out in my head any (Koenig 9).” These quotes tell me that Jay knew what happened to Hae and he can confirm that Adnan did kill her that day. These pieces of evidence help me understand that Adnan Syed had a part in Hae Min Lee’s
