If there was a person with a different personality he could find something about them and connect with what they had in common. Adnan is a very easy-going person. When he talks to his lawyer Sarah Koenig he does not have any emotion as to which he sounds guilty or scared. He sounds as if he is confident in what he is saying. When Adnan gives his testimonies, his stories stay the consistent. His story is that it of course did not happen, then he hung out with Jay. Then he was in the library with Asia McClain. He then went to track practice at 3:30 P.M (Serial, episode 1). The detectives have found out that there was a twenty-one minute opening for the time that school was out and that Hae was pronounced dead. It has been said by Jay that Adnan had told him to meet him at the Best Buy across town. That is when Adnan had supposedly showed Hae’s dead body. Adnan has witnesses that say that he was at track practice on time. At 2:15 the last bell of the day had rang. Hae was the type of girl to leave right away after school, she did not wait for anything. It is known for a fact that Adnan occasionally asked Hae for a ride, which is also normal because they had been dating at the time. It

    This reason makes sense because Asia and even a friend of hers claim that they saw and even spoke to Adnan that day and at that time Hae was murdered. This part of the story is when Asia found out Adna was arrested so she wrote him a letter explaining what she remembered about seeing him that day and time. This is from the letter “Im not sure if you remember talking to me in the library january 13’th,but I remember”. This means Adnan is innocent because he was not murdering Hae at the time he was at the library. Therefore Adnan is innocent because Asia’s letters prove that he was at the library at the time Hae was

  • Truth Or Doubt?: Sarah Koenig's Serial

    When Rabia begins speaking of Adnan the sentence she leads with is that “He was like the community’s golden child”. By using this phrase, Rabia is connoting that he was considered perfect, which is a very bold statement to claim. After she elaborates upon her description Koenig later fact checks her “accolades” as any reporter would. She finds that Rabia “was mostly right, though she sometimes gets a little loosey-goosey with the details”. Rabia would have successfully convinced Koenig, as well as the listeners at hand, of Adnan’s reputation by simply describing him as a ‘boy with potential’ or as one ‘generally known to be respectable’ but by choosing to pronounce him a “golden child” specifically, she identifies him as impeccable, and thus incapable of committing a crime. Rabia personally knows that her descriptions are not entirely true, being that she was close with him, however, she still chooses to make use of them despite their inconsistencies. Not only does she go forth with them, but she chooses to falsely summarize him as a “golden child”, despite knowing that he was not in fact perfect. Rabia could have chosen to just state the facts as they really were, in the less

  • Adnan Syed: The Murder Of Hae Min Lee

    Teachers, friends, classmates, relatives and parents could not believe he kills his girlfriend. The reality sometimes is very hard to face especially when feelings are involved. Parents never will accept that their own child who was raised with comfort, love and support could be capable of murder somebody. Disturbing people could be disguised very well under a charming appearance. Many serial killers were known as decent, brilliant and admired persons. When a teenager is carrying a burden as Adnan was, probably feeling guilty for giving back to his parents, his religion and customs could transform him in another person for a few moments when he felt betrayed, humiliated, dishonored and abandoned by the person for whom he did all this. Then he kill Hae Min Lee in a rage 's attack or probably as Jay said Adnan was planning the murder in detail; that is why the police could not found enough evidences to probe him clearly

    This was something that honestly suited Adnan’s defense more than Jay’s. Remember when I said “He didn’t seem like some sort of assasinator?” Well, he really wasn’t. Why would he kill Hae anyway? Hae and Adnan had dated for about two years, but during the end, it’s like most high school relationships. Someone in the group, or both members, eventually lost interest and break up, which in this case, Hae was the one who broke up. She fell in love with another person, named Don. When they had a break up, Adnan was emotional, and upset. Now, that would make sense, but that was two months before Hae’s death. Why would Adnan kill Hae 2 months after they broke up? I mean, he was described as a player, and sometimes he’d cheat on her. Even after they broke up, many friends his said Adnan eventually got over it.

    Jay describes his active-involvement with Adnan in the crime. If Jay tells us the truth, he brings Adnan to school, holds onto Adnan’s cellphone and car so he could pick Adnan up when Adnan calls; picks Adnan up after he committed the murder, cruises around with Adnan, and brings Adnan to track practice. Additionally, Jay cruises around with Adnan in the afternoon, accompanies Adnan to LeakIn park and aids Adnan in digging the hole to bury Hae. Which criminal incriminates oneself? When Jay speaks about picking up Adnan he says: “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.” Jay goes to pick up Adnan from the actual murder and describes the episode in detail.

    This then led to Adnan’s parents coming to the school and embarrassing him in front of everybody by yelling at him and dragging him out (Koenig, “The Breakup”). I’m not sure if Adnan was embarrassed, but I know I sure would’ve been. One other example, for this reason, is that Adnan was mad because he thought Hae moved on from him too quickly, like she didn’t even give him another chance for anything. Which is true, at least from what I think. Right after Hae had broken up with Adnan, she started to see this other guy from work, Don (Koenig, “The Breakup”).
